Begaj will be sworn in at a special parliamentary session, to be held at 6:00 in the Assembly.
Bajram Begaj, the Socialist Party's proposal, was elected president at the June 4th 2022 parliamentary session, with 78 votes for, 4 against and 1 abstention. Begaj, former chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, will be Albania's 8th president since the proclamation of pluralism.
