Vetëvendosje MP Mimoza Kusari-Lila has confirmed that Albin Kurti currently does not have enough votes to form the next government.
Speaking on the “Info Nata” program on Tëvë1, Kusari-Lila revealed the current vote count within Kurti’s bloc, stating that the ruling party is still 4–5 deputies short of securing the necessary majority in the Assembly.
“The expectation is to have a government led by the current Prime Minister and mandate-holder, Albin Kurti, which is expected to secure at least 61 votes. However, as of this moment, we still have no official confirmation about potential coalitions,” Kusari-Lila said.
She added that Vetëvendosje’s parliamentary group currently has 48 deputies, with 8 more from non-majority communities and 1 from Deputy Speaker Rashiq’s group, which still leaves them short of the minimum majority required to form a government.
This statement confirms growing speculation that Kurti’s second-term negotiations remain uncertain, as talks with smaller parties and minority representatives have not yet produced a decisive breakthrough.
