Algerians Head to Polls in Presidential Election:-
Moving to North Africa where 24 million people head to the polls on Saturday the incumbent president Abdul Majid tabun is seeking a second 5year term and experts say that he faces no real risk to his rule the 78-year-old presents himself.
Tebboune Presents Himself as an Independent Candidate:-
An independent candidate but his bid is backed by major political parties including the historic FL which led algeria’s fight for independence against France elections in Algeria are traditionally held in December but in March tun announced that they were being rescheduled he said it was done so that voting day coincides with the end of summer vacation and the start of the new schools year .
Election Date Rescheduled to Boost Turnout:-
Hope of increasing voter turnout critics say the decision was made so that his opponents have less time to campaign in the 2019 election the turnout was below 40% tabun was declared President with 58% of the vote elections in Algeria come amid growing concern over what rights groups call a steady erosion of human rights under President Abdul Majid tun over two dozen candidates that signified their intention to run were disqualified or were forced to resign the opposition leaders.
Concerns Over Human Rights Erosion:-
Claim the president has a fasted and authoritarian climate in recent years the North African country has seen dissolution of political parties Civil Society groups and Independent Media it has also seen a surge in arbitrary arrests and prosecutions under terrorism charges he faces two opponents the first is uh abdalah Hassani the 57-year-old is the leader of the movement of society for peace or the MSP algeria’s main islamist party and his campaign is focused on promoting democracy pluralism and a competitive political environment in Algeria in order to establish democracy pluralism free competition and rotation of power.
So that programs compete in the country and that the demonstrations that lead to unilateralism one party thinking and one opinion do not continue the second is ysf aiche the 41-year-old heads the Socialist forces front or the ffs and is a member of the parliament’s upper house ffs is algeria’s oldest opposition party it has boycotted elections in Algeria since 1999 .
Now which has focused his campaign on social issues improving living standards and Democratic reforms we want to pay more attention to the social sector because helpless people are living in very bad conditions there is a great deterioration in the purchasing power and people are suffering and for this reason we must improve the social conditions and raise the standard of living a change in all sectors in order to establish a democratic and social State as it was transcribed in the proclamation of November 1954 and clarified by the resolutions of the suum Congress many say president Legacy has offered little hope of a better fortunes and the country’s voters too are largely indifferent about the upcoming election which is unlikely to change the status quo whether it’s these elections or the last ones on December 12th 2019 .
Algeria’s Economy and Resources:-
It’s really the same thing nothing has changed during the campaign there are promises made but then we discover that they are lies the real issue is not who will be president since we all know given the
addresses of the main political parties that it will be Abdel Majid taban who will win a second turn the real issue will be the turnout popular support will algerians next Saturday September 7th go in large numbers to participate in this election Algeria is Africa’s biggest country it is rich in gas and is the largest exporter of natural gas in the continent it’s a vast desert holds major reserves for crude oil and natural gas the OPEC oil cartel member gets three fifths of the state income from oil this
goes to subsidize petrol electricity.
