Albanians voted in parliamentary elections on Sunday with prime minister Edi Rama seeking an unprecedented fourth term in office after a campaign dominated by promises to join the European Union (EU) and accusations of widespread graft.

TIRANA:

Polling stations opened at 7 am (local time) and closed at 7pm. Results are expected on Monday and exit polls will be released after ballot boxes are sealed on Sunday.

Rama, in power as head of the Socialist Party (PS) since 2013, is favourite to win against his old rival, former prime minister Sali Berisha of the Democratic Party (PD), bolstered in part by an influential network built over 12 years in power, a recent period of healthy economic growth and a largely popular image abroad.
