The deputy prime minister of Albania (Albanian: Zëvendëskryeministri i Shqipërise), officially styled the deputy prime minister of the Republic of Albania (Albanian: Zëvendëskryeministri i Republikës së Shqipërisë), is the deputy head of government of Albania. In the absence of the prime minister, the deputy prime minister takes over the functions of chairman of the council of ministers. The office is the second senior minister of the cabinet in the executive branch of the government in the parliamentary system in the Republic of Albania.
Although Albania has always had a deputy prime minister since its independence in 1912. A prime minister may choose not to appoint a deputy prime minister. As per the Constitution of Albania, the president of Albania appoints the deputy prime minister and swears before starting duties in front of the President.[1] The deputy prime minister can take the position of acting prime minister, when the prime minister is temporarily absent or incapable of exercising its executive power. The deputy prime minister is often asked to succeed the prime minister's term of office, following the prime minister's sudden death or unexpected resignation. However, that is not necessarily mandated by the Constitution of the nation.
