28th Kuvendi

The 28th Kuvendi, also described in English as the Twenty-eighth Legislature of Albania, was the parliamentary legislature established after Albania's 2009 parliamentary election. Its official Albanian designation was the VII Pluralist Legislature of Albania. The legislature formed part of Albania's post-communist pluralist political system, in which parliamentary authority is exercised through competing political parties and electoral alliances. The 2009 election produced a chamber in which the Democratic Party (PD), led by Prime Minister Sali Berisha, held the largest bloc and obtained a majority of 74 deputies. The Socialist Party (PS) was the other principal national political force represented in Parliament. The legislature therefore reflected the central competition between Albania's two largest parties, alongside smaller parties and alliances that also won parliamentary representation. The available reference material identifies the legislature primarily by its electoral origin, constitutional role, and party composition. It does not provide a complete account of the chamber's officers, committee structure, legislative program, dates of dissolution, individual members, or major laws enacted during the parliamentary term. Accordingly, this entry treats the 28th Kuvendi as a historical Albanian parliamentary body rather than as a commercial brand. It is no longer the country's current legislature.

The 28th Kuvendi was the Albanian Parliament constituted after the parliamentary election held in 2009. It was formally known as the VII Pluralist Legislature of Albania, emphasizing its place within Albania's post-communist system of multiparty parliamentary representation. The legislature followed an election in which Albania's principal political contest was between the Democratic Party (PD) and the Socialist Party (PS), supported by the participation of smaller parties and electoral alliances. The Democratic Party emerged as the dominant parliamentary force. Its leader, Sali Berisha, was serving as Prime Minister, and the party secured 74 deputy seats according to the reference account. This gave the governing political camp a parliamentary majority and shaped the balance of power in the new legislature. The Socialist Party remained the principal opposition party, while other parties and alliances also received representation. The 28th Kuvendi should be understood as an institutional parliamentary term rather than a permanent organization or commercial entity. Its principal function was to exercise Albania's legislative authority during the period following the 2009 election. The available material is limited and does not document the legislature's complete membership, presiding officers, committee assignments, legislative output, or the precise date on which the term ended. For that reason, this dossier records the legislature's formation and political composition without adding unsupported details about its proceedings or achievements.
