The Party of the Chameria (Albanian: Partia e Çamërisë, Greek: Κόμμα της Τσαμουρίας) was a small-lasting political party of Greece, created by Ali Dino, a famous Prevezan cartoonist and MP of the Greek Parliament. It aimed to represent Cham Albanians in the Greek Parliament.

1926 elections

The party took part only in the 1926 general elections, gathering 1,539 votes from the Preveza and Ioannina prefectures.[1] As a result, Ali Dino was one of the three MPs of Epirus in the Greek parliament.[citation needed] In the subsequent elections, the party did not gain the support of the local Albanian population and Ali Dino ran under Farmer-Labor ticket, gaining only 67 votes in 1932.[1]
