Voting ended in Albania’s parliamentary election Sunday after a boisterous campaign dominated by the country’s uphill effort to join the European Union and Prime Minister Edi Rama’s bid for a fourth term.

Ilir Rranci moved to a hamlet outside the Albanian city of Elbasan for the view of snow-capped peaks and a garden big enough for fruit trees, chickens and turkeys. Today, however, the surrounding scenery is obstructed by a multicoloured mountain of rubbish from a next-door landfill.

Albania will elect a new parliament on Sunday, with Prime Minister Edi Rama is seeking a historic fourth consecutive term. The election will also be a key test for the country's EU integration.
