On October 26 of last year, Albin Kurti, as the candidate to form the government, received only 56 votes and failed in his attempt.

Glauk Konjufca suffered a similar fate weeks later in the second attempt during the almost year-long institutional blockade.

Now, on February 11, 2025, the Assembly will hold its constitutive session following the December 28 elections. Kurti and Vetëvendosje alone have secured 57 seats in the Assembly and are expected to form a majority only through cooperation with the communities.

A day earlier, VV officials announced that immediately after the constitution of the Assembly, a session to form the Government would be held.

Kurti has already announced changes in the names he will present for the new Government, compared to the cabinet presented in October.
