German media outlet Deutsche Welle has dedicated an article to the May 11 elections in Albania, stating that after the majority of votes were counted, Prime Minister Rama is confidently heading towards a fourth term.

Albania's Socialists, under the leadership of Prime Minister Edi Rama, appear to have secured a clear victory.

While Rama has promised membership in the European Union within five years, the opposition has questioned whether the country is ready for this process.

Preliminary election results announced on Tuesday show a clear victory for the Socialist Party of Albania, with Prime Minister Edi Rama on track for a fourth term in office.

The current government received support from voters who support the country's efforts to join the European Union and who support Prime Minister Edi Rama's candidacy for a fourth term.

How are the voting results going in Albania?

With about 96% of votes counted, Rama's Socialists secured 52.09%, or 82 seats in the 140-seat Assembly.

The coalition led by Sali Berisha's Democratic Party has reached 34.44%, or 52 seats. Three other smaller parties will take the remaining seats.

The Central Election Commission has announced that the final results will be announced within 48 hours after the close of voting.

Rama's party has promised to secure EU membership within five years — a goal that Berisha and other conservatives argue Albania is not yet ready to achieve.

What will the results mean for parliament?

With current numbers, Albania's left-wing socialists can govern alone. Preliminary turnout in Sunday's election was 42.21%, about 4% lower than in previous elections.

The Central Election Commission has emphasized that, according to the law, final results must be announced within 48 hours of voting.

However, the results could be delayed after the opposition demanded that votes from the diaspora in Greece — about 53,000 — not be counted, claiming they were manipulated.

These elections were the first time that voters from the diaspora could participate by mail. About 195,000 people cast postal votes.

Legal voters in Albania and abroad were electing 140 legislators for a four-year term.

Due to massive emigration, Albania has a population of 2.4 million, but has about 3.7 million registered voters.
