Career
[edit]Ylli Manjani, a jurist by profession, graduated in Law from the University of Tirana. He initially worked with organizations such as the OSCE before becoming Secretary General in the cabinet of Prime Minister Fatos Nano, a position he later resigned from. In 2009, Manjani was a candidate for the Socialist Party in the Lezhë constituency. Following the party’s electoral defeat, he criticized Edi Rama for his opposition style and in 2011 left the Socialist Party to join the Socialist Movement for Integration (LSI). Within the LSI, Manjani held various advisory and executive roles, including serving as Deputy Chairman, contributing actively to legal reform initiatives. He is also known as a university lecturer, legal expert, and a frequent participant in debates on judicial reform, the electoral system, and other political issues.[1] [2]
On 16 September 2015, he was appointed as Minister of Justice, succeeding Nasip Naço. His appointment came as part of the coalition agreement between the LSI and the Socialist Party. During his tenure, Manjani addressed issues related to judicial reform and anti-corruption efforts. He was dismissed from the post on 3 February 2017 and was succeeded by Petrit Vasili. [3][4]
Following his departure from government, Manjani distanced himself from active politics and eventually resigned from the LSI. He has since returned to legal practice and continued contributing to public debate. [5]
He has regularly provided legal and political commentary in Albanian media.[6]
