Signature

Sokol Olldashi (17 December 1972 – 20 November 2013) was an Albanian politician, journalist, and lawyer. A member of the Democratic Party of Albania, he served as Minister of Public Order from 2005 to 2007 and as Minister of Public Works, Transportation, and Telecommunications from 2007 to 2013 in the cabinet of Sali Berisha.

After the Democratic Party's defeat in the 23 June 2013 elections, Olldashi ran for the leadership of the party but lost to Lulzim Basha. He died later that year in a car accident near Krrabë, Albania.
