Osmani successfully ran on an anti-corruption platform and has expressed a desire to normalize relations between Kosovo and Serbia.
Her efforts have emphasized the importance of individual action in addressing climate change while securing support at the highest political levels.
Vjosa Osmani was born on 17 May 1982 in Titova Mitrovica, Kosovo, then a part of the Socialist Republic of Serbia, Yugoslavia to ethnic Albanian parents.

[10][11] Osmani's political career began in her teens, as an activist for the centre-right Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK).

[14][18] While campaigning for the election, she said the Kosovan people were ready for a female prime minister, and that she could fight corruption and make free market reforms for Kosovo.
[19][20] She lost the election to Albin Kurti, leader of the left-wing anti-establishment party Vetëvendosje, and had received 176,016 votes.
[25] In preparation for the 2021 Kosovan parliamentary election, Osmani announced the founding of her own political party, Guxo, on 2 January 2021.
