The prime minister of Albania,officially the prime minister of the Republic of Albania,is the head of government of Albania. The office of the prime minister is a core institution in the politics of Albania formed after the Albanian declaration of independence on 28 November 1912. Since that time,the nation has navigated a dynamic political evolution spanning distinct periods,encompassing a monarchy,a communist regime and the eventual democratic order. 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.

He was the first leader and founder of the Socialist Party of Albania and a member of the Albanian Parliament from 1991 to 1993 and 1997 to 2009. He reformed the anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist ideology of the Labor Party of Albania into social democracy for its successor,the Socialist Party. During his leadership,the Socialist Party,as a result of reforms,joined the Socialist International and Party of European Socialists. Nano was a candidate in the 2007 presidential election but did not win. He again tried in the 2012 presidential election,but he did not even qualify as a candidate,because the leaders of parties in Parliament obstructed their respective MPs to elect him as candidate in the elections.

In 1991,the Socialist Party of Albania,with specific social democratic ideology took control of the country through democratic elections. One year later the Democratic Party of Albania won the new elections. After 1990,Albania has been seeking a closer relationship with the West. What followed were deliberate programs of economic and democratic reform,but the implementation of capitalism led to the proliferation of pyramid schemes. Chaos in late 1996 to early 1997,as a result of the collapse of these pyramid schemes,alarmed the world and prompted the influx of international peacekeeping forces. In 1995,Albania was accepted into the Council of Europe and requested membership in NATO and is a potential candidate country for accession to the European Union. The workforce of Albania has continued to emigrate to Western countries,especially Greece and Italy.

Parliamentary elections were held on 31 March 1991 to elect the 250 members of the Kuvendi Popullor. The first round of the elections took place on this date,followed by a second round on 7 April and a third round on 14 April. These elections represent a critical juncture in Albania's political evolution,transitioning from one party system to a multi-party democratic system. Following the death of Enver Hoxha in 1985,his successor,Ramiz Alia,encountered escalating economic difficulties and social unrest,which were intensified by the broader geopolitical transformations occurring during the Revolutions of 1989. The foundation of the Democratic Party in December 1990 served as a catalyst for legislative reforms aimed at dismantling the People's Socialist Republic.
Parliamentary elections were held in Albania on 22 March 1992,with a second round of voting for eleven seats on 29 March. 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 first Government of Prime Minister Fatos Nano was an emergency government that served as the 50th Government of Albania. The country's reformation as the Republic of Albania in the middle of this cabinet,on 29 April 1991,made this the final cabinet of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania.
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.
