Rama decreed Prime Minister

This development came 24 hours after President Bujar Nishani received the majority’s request to decree Rama as the new Head of the Albanian Government.

The decree signed by Nishani was made public by Edi Rama on his Facebook profile.

Then the Presidency made an official announcement on their website, writing: “Based on the proposal presented by the Alliance for European Albania Coalition, the Albanian President, Bujar Nishani, decreed the appointment of Edi Rama as Prime Minister of Albania and tasked him with the duty to create the new government”.

“During the meeting, President Nishani congratulated Mr. Rama and wished him for a good job on his new duty. Both leaders shared mutual views on the institutional cooperation”.

Two hours after this decree, the Socialist Party Communication Department announced tha Rama, as Prime Minister, has sent to the President his written request for the decreeing of the new government cabinet.

The decree of the government cabinet is not expected to be delayed, although the Constitution leaves the President seven days.

President Nishani might decree the government this Wednesday, making way to a parliamentary session in which Rama would introduce the government program.

The day after the Ministers will be voted by the Parliament, they will go to the Presidency for the oath ceremony in front of the President.

Prime Minister Berisha visited the Albanian President yesterday to hand over his resignation letter before the opening of the first Parliament session.
