The Noli Government (Albanian: Qeveria e Fan Nolit) was the seventh ruling government of Albania, formed on 16 June 1924 following the success of the June Revolution. The government was led by Fan Noli, an Orthodox bishop, intellectual, and political reformer, who assumed office as Prime Minister with a reformist and anti-feudal agenda.[1]

The Noli Government sought to implement a program of deep political, economic, and social reforms, commonly referred to as the Twenty-Point Program, which aimed at democratization, land reform, judicial independence, modernization of public administration, and the reduction of foreign influence in Albanian affairs.

Despite its ambitious agenda, the government lacked strong internal support, financial resources, and international recognition. On 24 December 1924, it was overthrown by forces loyal to Ahmet Zogu, who returned to power with external backing, forcing Fan Noli into exile.[2]
