Together We Win (Albanian:Bashkë Fitojmë) is an Albanian political coalition led bySali Berisha, the leader of theDemocratic Party of Albania andIlir Meta, the leader of theFreedom Party of Albania. It was founded originally asHouse of Freedom (Albanian:Shtëpia e Lirisë).
Following the expulsion ofSali Berisha from the Democratic Party of Albania,[1] most of the members of the Democratic Party including members of parliament would side with Berisha in removingLulzim Basha.[2] Most of Berisha's supporters would form the House of Freedom Coalition to challenge theSocialist Party and Lulzim Basha in the March Partial elections in 2022. Berisha's coalition at the time had consisted ofThe Socialist Movement for Integration, which is now the Freedom Party of Albania, as well as theDemochristian Party of Albania, which also included members of The Democratic Party who were unhappy at the time with Lulzim Basha and his reelection as party leader following its third defeat in elections as a whole. Berisha's coalition would come in second place compared to the Democratic Party. However, Berisha's candidate would win inShkodër.[3] Lulzim Basha would step down and hand the party toEnkelejd Alibeaj which would cause the Democrats more division.[4][5] On 15 March 2023 PDK, PLL, PBDNJ and PD would form the Coalition "Together We Can Win".[6] On 15 April 2023 theRepublican Party of Albania,New Democratic Spirit, and many other opposition parties would run for council seats,[7][8] while they would endorse Berisha's candidates for Mayor for the2023 Albanian local elections. Although Sali Berisha is considered the leader of Together We Win by most of the candidates, he is not allowed to register his name as the leader of the coalition.[9]
