Albanian Democratic National Front Party

The Albanian Democratic National Front Party (Albanian: Partia Balli Kombëtar Demokrat Shqiptar, PBKDSH) is a political party in Kosovo founded in February 2024 and currently led by Alban Hoti. It is a small nationalist and conservative party that promotes Albanian national values, such as unification.^[1]

The Albanian Democratic National Front Party was established as a political initiative in early 2024 and was officially registered on 26 February 2024 by the Central Election Commission of Kosovo (CEC). With its registration, PBKDSH became the 52nd officially recognized political party in Kosovo. The party submitted its founding statute, political program, symbol, and financial documentation in accordance with Kosovo’s electoral law.^[2]

The party was initially led by Nikollë Perkaj, who served as its founding chairman. During its early phase, the PBKDSH positioned itself as a national-conservative political force, drawing ideological inspiration from the historical Balli Kombëtar tradition within Albanian political thought, while operating within Kosovo’s contemporary democratic framework, even though he led them in the February 2025 elections, the party focused more onorganizational development and official recognition rather than parliamentary representation, they received 0.07% of the vote.^[3]

Following the death of Perkaj in 2025, leadership of the party passed to Alban Hoti, who assumed the role of party chairman. Under Hoti's leadership the PBKDSH sought broader public visibility and electoral participation, emphasizing nationalist values, political sovereignty, and institutional engagement.^[4]

The PBKDSH participated in the December 2025 parliamentary elections, with Hoti named as the party's candidate for prime minister. Although the party did not secure representation in the Assembly of Kosovo, its participation marked its first significant national electoral campaign since its founding and increased its vote share by 0.03pp, receiving 0.10%.^[5]
