In 1912,Ismail Qemali was inaugurated as the first prime minister of Albania,guiding the nation toward sovereignty amidst the complex conditions in the Balkans. In 1944,Enver Hoxha implemented a radical change in government,transforming Albania into an authoritarian and isolationist communist regime. In 1991,the nation transitioned into a democracy that marked a notable shift,when Fatos Nano emerged as the first post-communist prime minister of Albania.

The result was a victory for the opposition Democratic Party of Albania,which won 92 of the 140 seats. After the elections Aleksandër Meksi became prime minister and Sali Berisha became president.
The Bufi Government better known as the Government of Stability was an interim government formed after the resignation of the previous Nano government due to the aggravated situation in the country after the events of 2 April 1991 where 4 opposition supporters were killed in Shkodër during a anti-communist protest that led to the burning of the Shkodra Labor Party Committee. The Nano government resigned on 4 June 1991,and the next day the then-President Ramiz Alia,began negotiations to form a comprehensive government whose main objective would be to restore stability to the country,from which it took the name "Stability Government". Ylli Bufi was accepted also by the opposition to be appointed as Prime Minister,while one of the most prominent figures of the Democratic Party,such as Gramoz Pashko,was appointed Deputy Prime Minister.
The 1991 Albanian presidential election marked the second presidential election held on 30 April 1991 in Albania. The transition from the communist regime to a multi-party democracy culminated in the 1991 parliamentary elections,following the death of Enver Hoxha and growing discontent under his successor,Ramiz Alia. The Democratic Party's emergence and subsequent electoral success,alongside protests in response to the results,led to the adoption of a provisional constitution on 29 April 1991,establishing Albania as a parliamentary republic and reintroducing the presidency one day before Alia was elected. Following the elections,Albania experienced significant political upheaval,social unrest,and economic hardship under President Alia,culminating in widespread strikes led by independent trade unions demanding better wages and conditions. The resignation of prime minister Fatos Nano on 4 June,and subsequent government failures,including a severe food shortage that sparked panic and looting,fueled mass emigration as discontent grew,ultimately leading to the Democratic Party's decisive victory in the 1992 elections and Alia's resignation.
