Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune announced that the upcoming presidential elections would be postponed beyond their constitutional deadlines. The political forces in Algeria reacted positively to the decision, while some of them stipulated transparency and integrity for the success of the reform process.
The official news agency considers the decision to submit elections the official signal for an exit from the 2019 movement crisis. In his assessment of the background of the sudden decision, Farouk Tayfour, professor of political science at the University of Blida, believes that it is not related to President TeBBoune’s desire to leave.
