| History | |
| Election | 28 December 2025 |
| Legislature term | 10th legislature of the Assembly |
| Predecessor | Second cabinet of Albin Kurti |
The government entered a caretaker role after the President of Kosovo dissolved the Assembly of Kosovo as it failed to elect a new president within the constitutional deadline, and thus triggering new parliamentary elections.[2]
Actions
On 26 October 2025, LVV nominated Albin Kurti as prime minister-designate, but his cabinet failed to secure the 61 votes required, receiving 56 in favor, 52 against, and 4 abstentions.[3] A second attempt with Glauk Konjufca on 19 November also failed, with 56 votes in favor, 53 against, and 4 abstentions.[4]
A fresh election on 28 December gave Vetëvendosje near-majority, ending the deadlock. Albulena Haxhiu was elected Assembly Speaker with 66 votes on 11 February 2026.[5][6] Later that day, Albin Kurti's third cabinet was approved, including nine nominees from the previous failed attempts.[7]
