The Albanian Christian Democratic Movement is a Christian-democratic [ citation needed ] political party in Albania founded by Nikollë Lesi, an MP and former member of the Demochristian Party of Albania (PDK) on 8 November 2007 over disagreements with his previous party's new party leader, Nard Ndoka. Lesi expects to at least match the PDK's performance in the 2005 election at the next election. [1] The party had one MP in the Assembly of Albania until the Albanian parliamentary election, 2009.

Christian democracy is a political ideology that emerged in nineteenth-century Europe under the influence of Catholic social teaching, as well as Neo-Calvinism. Christian democratic political ideology advocates for a commitment to social market principles and qualified interventionism. It was conceived as a combination of modern democratic ideas and traditional Christian values, incorporating the social teachings espoused by the Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, and Pentecostal traditions in various parts of the world. After World War II, the Protestant and Catholic movements of the Social Gospel and Neo-Thomism, respectively, played a role in shaping Christian democracy. Christian democracy continues to be influential in Europe and Latin America, although it is also present in other parts of the world.

Nikollë Lesi is the owner and editor of the newspaper Koha Jonë and a former Member of the Albanian Parliament.
