Avdullah Hoti (born 4 February 1976) is a Kosovar politician, who is currently serving as the Prime Minister of Kosovo[a] since May the 3rd of 2020. He served as the Minister of Finance between 2014 and 2017 in the PDK/LDK coalition government.
He was the coalition's candidate for Prime Minister in the Kosovan parliamentary election of 2017. He became the head the LDK parliamentary group from 2017 until 2020, when he took office as First Deputy Prime Minister.[1]He was nominated by LDK to be his party's nominee for PM after the Kurti government failed a confidence vote, but his eligibility to be PM was questioned by Albin Kurti and his party, that you can't form a government without having the first party that won the election into that government, they demanded new elections. However on 28th May 2020, the Constitution Court of Kosovo gave the right to the second party and Avdullah Hoti to form a government without elections. And after the party that won the elections failed to form again the new government, the Court argued that Avdullah Hoti is totally eligible to continue to proceed to be voted on the Parliament as the new PM of the Republic of Kosovo. On 3 June 2020, Hoti was elected Prime Minister with 61 votes in favor, 24 against and one abstention.[2]
