The Constitutional Court of Albania has temporarily suspended the decree of the President of the Republic, Bajram Begaj, announcing the holding of partial elections for the Municipality of Tirana on November 9, 2025.

The decision came after the Constitutional Court was moved by Erion Veliaj, who appealed the decision to dismiss him as mayor of Tirana.

"The Constitutional Court unanimously decided to refer the case of petitioner Erion Veliaj to a public plenary session on October 31, 2025 and to suspend the Presidential Decree for the part that sets the date of the elections in the Municipality of Tirana," the Constitutional Court's announcement explains.
