Edi Rama

From the first day in September 2013 until today, when he prepares to announce the new cabinet of the fourth governing mandate, Prime Minister Edi Rama has been distinguished for a different leadership style: maintaining power without compromise and the constant rotation of ministers. With over 42 changes made to the cabinet during three mandates, no previous prime minister in our country has experimented so much with political and technical figures, often testing young people without political experience.

Some of the ministers appointed over the years quietly left, while others became essential parts of the government. But who are the ministers who have lasted the longest in office?

Longest-serving ministers

In more than a decade of governance (12 years), only five figures have been present in all of Rama's governments.

Mirela Kumbaro – With a stable career in Culture and then in Tourism, she has stayed for a full 9 years and 4 months.

Niko Peleshi – He has held several positions, including Deputy Prime Minister, Agriculture and Defense, serving for a total of eight years and 11 months.

Ogerta Manastirliu – Minister since 2017, from Health to Education, has spent eight years and six months in the governing cabinet.

Bledi Çuçi – With experience in three different ministries, he has spent a full eight years and two months.

Arben Ahmetaj – One of the longest-serving, until he left amid controversy after 8 years as part of the cabinet.

The shortest-lived ministers

In a government with so many moves, some ministers did not last more than a few months, they are:

Petrit Vasili – only 7 months as Minister of Justice at the end of the first term.

Ervin Mete – 10 months at the Ministry of Finance.

Ilirjan Celibashi – about a year as Minister for Parliamentary Relations.

The model of frequent rotation and the inclusion of non-traditional names, as much as it has been criticized, has also helped Rama maintain control of power and maintain the rhythm of a government that is reformatted according to need and political moment. With the fourth cabinet expected to be announced this Thursday, it remains to be seen whether Rama will follow the same line or will try to build a more stable team at the end of an era that has already entered the country's political history.
