27th Legislature of Albania

The 27th Legislature of Albania, also referred to as the 27th Kuvendi, was the parliamentary legislature constituted after Albania’s 2005 parliamentary election. It was officially designated the VI Pluralist Legislature of Albania, reflecting the country’s post-communist parliamentary era and its system of multiparty representation. The legislature was part of the Albanian Parliament, the national institution responsible for exercising legislative authority and representing voters through elected deputies. The 2005 election produced a majority for the Democratic Party of Albania (PD), the party led by Sali Berisha. According to the referenced account, PD obtained 80 deputy seats, giving it the central position in forming the governing majority. Berisha subsequently served as Prime Minister during this parliamentary period. The Socialist Party (PS) remained one of the two principal political forces in the country and was the leading opposition party. Other parties and electoral alliances also held representation, although the available reference material does not provide a complete seat-by-seat breakdown. The legislature therefore marked a transfer of governing power through a competitive multiparty election and a period of Democratic Party-led parliamentary government. Its political importance lies less in being an independent organization or commercial brand than in its role as a historical parliamentary term within Albania’s institutional development. The legislature’s membership consisted of elected members of parliament, with the referenced source identifying the deputies associated with its seventeenth session. A complete roster, committee structure, presiding officers, legislative output, and precise opening and closing dates are not established by the supplied material. As a historical legislature, the 27th Kuvendi is no longer active. It should not be confused with the modern Albanian Parliament as a continuing institution or with later parliamentary terms. The name identifies a specific electoral and parliamentary period following the 2005 election rather than a political party, government ministry, commercial enterprise, or consumer-facing brand.

The 27th Legislature of Albania was established in the aftermath of the 2005 Albanian parliamentary election. In the historical classification used by the Albanian parliamentary system, it was known as the Twenty-seventh Legislature and, officially, the VI Pluralist Legislature of Albania. The pluralist designation placed the parliamentary term within the institutional period that followed the end of one-party communist rule and the development of competitive party politics. The election brought the Democratic Party of Albania, commonly abbreviated PD, into a majority position. The referenced account states that PD secured 80 deputies. This result enabled the party to become the principal governing force in the new parliament and supported the formation of a government led by Sali Berisha. The Socialist Party, or PS, was one of the two largest parties represented in Albania and occupied the main opposition role. The parliament also included deputies from additional political parties and electoral alliances, although the supplied material does not enumerate their complete representation. The legislature’s membership was made up of members elected to the Albanian Parliament. The source identifies a list of deputies associated with the seventeenth session, but the available reference extract does not reproduce the names or provide enough information to verify a full membership database. For that reason, the legislature is documented here at the institutional and political level rather than through an invented or incomplete list of members. The 27th Kuvendi should be understood as a bounded parliamentary term, not as a permanent corporate entity. Its significance derives from the 2005 electoral result, the return of the Democratic Party to a governing majority, and the role of the parliament in Albania’s pluralist political system. The legislature is now defunct as a sitting term, while the Albanian Parliament itself continues as the country’s national legislative institution. Exact dates for the legislature’s first and final sitting, the names of its presiding officers, its committee assignments, and a detailed account of its enacted laws require additional authoritative sources.
