Using what it calls a 'truth-meter', the Mjaft Movement has concluded that Edi Rama's government has fully met only a few of its election-time promises.

Albania's centre-left government has fully met only four of its 27 electoral promises after two-and-a-half years in power, an NGO has claimed.

While presenting what it called it "truth-meter" Mjaft representatives noted - among others - that the government had failed to open 300,000 new workplaces as it had pledged.

"In those two years, based on official statistics, it is estimated that they created around 40,000 new workplaces," Aldo Merkoci, from NGO Mjaft said.

The report noted that Rama government also failed to retake control of assets that had been considered wrongly privatized, or get rid of monopolies in the economy.

Mjaft also considered the promise to carry out judicial reform unfulfilled. It also noted the failure to take strong measures against those deemed corrupt in the previous government.

Election promises considered "fully met" according to the Mjaft "truth-meter" relate mainly to the work on normalizing the energy system.

Other election pledges fell into the category of partially fulfilled promises.

Health reform, the fight against organized crime and narcotics, educational reform and some others are considered partially met.

Rama's Socialist Party took power with a large coalition of parties in June 2013 with the promise of giving the country a much-needed new start.
