Enver Hoxha was Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Socialist People's Republic of Albania from 1944 to 1954.

The Second Hoxha Cabinet was a transitional government of the Socialist People's Republic of Albania, which was founded on January 11, 1946 by Prime Minister Enver Hoxha was formed by the Communist Party of Albania. It replaced the Democratic Government of Albania and remained in office until March 22, 1946,[1] whereupon it was replaced by the Third Hoxha Cabinet.[2]

On December 2, 1945, the Albanians elected a constitutional Parliament of Albania. On January 11, 1946, Albania was declared a People's Republic [3] The government then resigned on the same day, but remained in office as the Hoxha II cabinet until a new government was formed. Since the Hoxha II cabinet was no different from the Hoxha I cabinet, it is not always considered a separate cabinet in the cite book. These authors therefore refer to the Hoxha III Cabinet as the Hoxha II Cabinet.[4]

In February 1946, tensions in the government became clear. Sejfulla Malëshova, chairman of the Writers' Union and Minister of Propaganda, was expelled from the Central Committee of the party - for many communists he was too open to other political forces and the major Western powers. Malëshova was still supposed to be included in the next government, but was excluded later that year and sentenced to a long prison sentence in 1947.[5][6]

On March 14, 1946, the People's Assembly adopted a new Constitution for the Socialist People's Republic of Albania.[7] As a result, a new government was formed on March 23rd.[4] On March 24th, Enver Hoxha presented the program of the

first government of the People's Republic of Albania

to the People's Assembly.[8]
