Arben Pëllumbi

From 1988 to 1990, Pëllumbi worked as a design engineer at the Institute of Metallurgical Studies in Elbasan. He later worked as a specialist at the Institute of Information in Tirana from 1990 to 1991, executive director at the company Dea-Stt from 1991 to 1992, and administrative engineer at ABA sh.p.k from 1993 to 2017.^[1]

Pëllumbi has served in the Parliament of Albania since 2017.^[2] He has led the parliamentary commission dealing with economic activities and protected areas.^[3]

Since 2018, Pëllumbi has been active in the Socialist Party of Albania, serving as the party's Secretary for Organization and Electoral Coordination.^[4]

In May 2025, following parliamentary election, Pëllumbi, along with ten other Socialist MPs, failed to secure enough preferential votes in Tirana’s competitive open-list race, meaning he would not return to Parliament in September. Despite being listed, the intense intra-party contest left several high-profile figures, including Pëllumbi, without a mandate.^[4]
