Algerian presidential poll likely to return incumbent

Algerians are casting their ballots in a presidential election incumbent President Abdelmadjid Tebboune is widely expected to win.

Tebboune, who took office in late 2019, is seeking a second five-year term.

He is supported by major parties in the energy-rich North ******** country.

Algeria, a former French colony, is a key energy supplier to Europe.

Islamist Hassani Sharif Abdel Aali and Youssef Aouchiche from the Socialist Forces Front are vying with Tebboune.

But analysts see Tebboune, 78, as the clear favourite in the vote.

Tebboune is supported by 17 parties holding a majority in the Algerian parliament, Algerian political analyst Hakim Boughrara said.

“He has made some achievements in the first term,” Boughrara said.

“Voters may give Tebboune a second chance (in office) to complete the files he opened in the first term such as curbing unemployment, supporting the middle class and attracting a lot of investments to the country.”

Tebboune was elected president in December 2019, eight months after long-time ruler Abdelaziz Bouteflika was forced to resign under pressure following street protests and from the powerful army.

At least 24 million Algerians are eligible to vote in Saturday’s one-day ballot.

Final official results could take weeks to be announced.
