A partisan boycott threatened Albania’s 2017 parliamentary elections until an internationally brokered agreement paved the way for the opposition’s participation in the vote on June 25. The incumbent Socialist Party (SP) of Prime Minister Edi Rama won a single-party majority, with 74 seats in the 140-seat parliament. The opposition Democratic Party (DP), led by former Tirana mayor Lulzim Basha, suffered a loss in votes, and returns to parliament with 43 seats.

This immediate post-election statement is offered by the National Democratic Institute’s (NDI) election observer delegation to Kenya’s 2017 general elections. This statement follows a Preliminary Statement issued on August 10.
