Former Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku has reacted after being reconfirmed as the Socialist Party’s political leader for the Fier region, following the party’s National Assembly meeting.
In a post on social media, Balluku expressed gratitude to party leader Edi Rama for renewing her mandate, as well as to voters who supported the Socialists in the May 2025 elections.
She described Fier as the “locomotive of the historic victory,” highlighting the region’s key role in the party’s electoral success.
“I am deeply grateful to the Chairman of the Socialist Party, Edi Rama, for the reconfirmation to lead the Fier region,” Balluku wrote.
She also thanked supporters for their trust and praised what she called an “extraordinary team” working with dedication beyond election periods.
“It is an honor and privilege to lead the capital of the Socialists,” she added, expressing appreciation for the thousands of supportive messages she has received.
Balluku’s reappointment comes as part of a broader reshuffle within the ruling Socialist Party aimed at reinforcing its leadership structures across Albania.
