Albanian Prime minister Edi Rama has secured an unprecedented fourth term in power after his Socialist Party sailed to victory in Sunday's election, official results showed on Tuesday, although the opposition claims the vote was stolen.

Hiring Donald Trump’s campaign strategist and thinking you can become Trump “is like hiring a Hollywood hairdresser and thinking you’ll become Brad Pitt,” Rama told POLITICO.

Polls show Rama, who has promised EU membership in the next five years, has a commanding lead over his old rival Sali Berisha, who has been weakened by a corruption probe.
