The two winning parties, the National Liberation Front and the Future Front, expressed their readiness for dialogue with the rest of the blocs represented in the new parliament, while the Movement for a Society for Peace affirmed its welcome for the results despite violations during the electoral process.

The victory of the National Liberation Front (Aflan) came as a surprise given the significant decline in its popularity due to its ties to President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who was prompted by the movement to resign in 2019, although this party still enjoys an old and broad base.

Despite the victory of the Liberation Front, it recorded a significant decline in the number of parliamentary seats, as it lost 50 seats and now has less than a quarter of the members of the new assembly.

On the other hand, the head of the Society for Peace Movement, Abdel Razzaq Makri, said on Wednesday that "serious abuses occurred during the elections that deprived his party of a larger share of seats in the next parliament."

He added, in a press conference, that the counting records were changed in several offices, and manipulations took place in the calculation of canceled papers and the threshold system (5%) to deprive the movement of seats in several states.

He added that "these practices are isolated and have a local character, and we absolve the President of the Republic of political responsibility in them, and even the head of the Independent Election Authority, Muhammad Sharafi, who is not aware of the actions of its branch officials in the states."

However, Makri indicated that the movement opens the door to the entry of the next government, but with specific conditions related to the extent to which the government's program matches its political vision.

Makri stressed that the announced results do not allow the movement to lead the government and carry out reforms as stated in its electoral platform.

He added, "We will study the offer to enter the government, and does it come close to our vision? Is it serious and strategic dialogue to serve the country? We will study the offer and evaluate its reality, and we have institutions in the party that are decisive in the final position."

Article 103 of the Algerian constitution stipulates that the government should be led by a "prime minister in the event that the legislative elections result in a presidential majority (loyal to the president) or a prime minister in the event that the elections result in a parliamentary majority (affiliated with the opposition)."

The Prime Minister in Algeria is the coordinator of the government’s work without powers and follows the president, while the prime minister heads a government that has a parliamentary majority and has powers.

And on Tuesday, the head of the Independent Electoral Authority in Algeria, Mohamed Charfi, announced the official, non-final results of the elections, which were held on Saturday to choose 407 deputies in the National People’s Assembly (the first chamber of parliament), which are provisional results on which the Constitutional Council is expected to issue its opinion within 10 days after studying Appeals.

The official results of the parliamentary elections in Algeria, yesterday, Tuesday, revealed that the National Liberation Party (formerly ruling) won the first place with 105 seats or 25.79%, followed by the independents with 78 seats or 19.16%, then the Movement for Society for Peace (the largest Islamic party) with 64 seats or 15.72 %.

In fourth place, with 57 seats, about 14%, the National Democratic Assembly (the party of imprisoned former Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia / Governor), followed by the Future Front (Governor) with 48 seats with a rate of 11.8%, and the National Building Movement (the party of the Islamist presidential candidate Abdelkader bin Qurainah). With 40 seats, 9.8%.

This is the first legislative elections in Algeria since the Hirak protests erupted on February 22, 2019.
