Zogu I Government

The Zogu I Government was the sixth ruling government of Albania, in office from 2 December 1922 to 25 February 1924. It was headed by Ahmet Zogu, who concurrently served as Ministry of [Internal Affairs (Albania)|Minister of Internal Affairs].
This government marked Ahmet Zogu's consolidation of political power during the early years of the Albanian state. Its primary objectives included restoring internal order, strengthening central authority, and stabilizing public administration after a prolonged period of political instability. Zogu relied on a pragmatic and authoritarian governing style, emphasizing security and institutional continuity over political liberalization.
The Zogu I Government faced strong opposition from reformist and democratic forces, particularly supporters of Fan Noli. Political tensions escalated throughout 1923 and early 1924, culminating in Zogu's resignation following the political crisis that preceded the June Revolution of 1924.
