Kosovo parliament re-elects Albin Kurti as prime minister
Kurti won 62 votes as opposition boycotts and a failed presidential quorum keep the country on track for another snap election.
- On Sunday, Kosovo's parliament re-elected Prime Minister Albin Kurti with 62 votes in the 120-seat assembly, following his party's victory in June 2026 parliamentary elections.
- Kurti struggles to secure the two-thirds majority required to elect a president, which necessitates a quorum of at least 80 lawmakers; an August agreement with the Democratic League of Kosovo to back law professor Bekim Sejdiu faces internal dissent.
- The Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Alliance boycotted the session, accusing the government of violating post-election procedures and planning to challenge the government's legitimacy at the Constitutional Court.
- Failure to elect a president could force Kosovo into its fourth snap election in two years, as analysts warn this instability delays critical reforms required for European Union membership.
- "This mandate is about strongly restoring security and prosperity for citizens," Kurti said before the vote, though Kosovo remains locked in a prolonged political crisis with the presidential vote timing unclear.
