Algeria: Tebboune brings forward the date of the presidential election
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune announced the advancement of the next presidential election to September 7, 2024, several months earlier than expected.
During a meeting devoted to preparations for the next elections, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune announced the advancement of the presidential election to September 7, without providing details on the reasons for this change.
The Algerian presidency also announced the convening of the electoral body for June 8. This rush towards elections, now set for six months earlier than initially planned, raises questions.
The last presidential election in Algeria took place in December 2019, bringing Abdelmadjid Tebboune to power. His five-year term was initially due to expire in December 2024. For now, no other candidate has yet officially announced their participation in the next presidential election, but questions are being asked about Tebboune's possible candidacy.
