Indirect presidential elections have taken place in Albania from 16 May 2022 to 4 June 2022.[1][2] It was the ninth presidential election since 1991 and the collapse of the communist regime.

The first round was held on 16 May 2022, and failed due to all parties failing to agree on a candidate.[3][4] The second and third rounds held on 23 and 30 May failed for the same reason.[5][6]

Bajram Begaj, 26th Chief of General Staff of the Albanian Armed Forces, was elected president on the fourth round, with 95,12% of votes.[7]
