Albanian voters choose between Prime Minister Edi Rama and challenger Sali Berisha, with EU membership a key issue.

Albanians voted in a general election, with Prime Minister Edi Rama of the Socialist Party seeking a fourth term and promising EU membership within five years. His main rival, Sali Berisha of the Democratic Party, has hired Trump campaign advisor Chris LaCivita. The election includes new parties and allows voting from Albanians abroad for the first time. Both parties have made similar economic promises, but corruption and EU membership readiness remain contentious issues.
