Kosovo Parliamentary Election Albin Kurti 2025: Landslide Victory Ends Months of Stagnation

The electorate has delivered a clear verdict to end the political paralysis gripping the nation. According to preliminary results from the Kosovo parliamentary election Albin Kurti 2025, the ruling Vetevendosje party has secured a landslide victory, paving the way for a third term for the nationalist leader.

Decoding the Numbers of Kosovo's New Political Landscape

With 90% of the votes counted, Albin Kurti's party stands at 50.8%. This is a decisive lead over the opposition parties, the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) at 20.98% and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) at 13.89%. After the failed polls on February 9, this second election of the year was a test of public patience.

While Vetevendosje might still fall slightly short of a solo majority in the 120-seat National Assembly, support from ethnic minority parties—who hold 20 guaranteed seats—is expected to make coalition-building straightforward. Kurti hailed the result as the greatest victory in the country's history.
