Most recent election results
Vetëvendosje finished first in the parliamentary elections, securing its fifth consecutive victory and remaining the largest party by a significant margin. However, the party lost support compared to the December 2025 election, while opposition parties made gains. With the backing of nine minority representatives, Vetëvendosje subsequently formed the Fourth cabinet of Albin Kurti. Voter turnout was 37.03%, the lowest recorded in Kosovo’s electoral history, reflecting widespread political fatigue and frustration with repeated elections and ongoing political instability.
Assembly building The Assembly Building is located at Ibrahim Rugova Square in Pristina, the capital city of Kosovo. The building, which dates from the 1950s, underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2004 which included the complete redesign of the plenary chamber.
