Tebboune of Algeria wins second term as president • FRANCE 24 English

Algeria’s incumbent President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has secured a decisive victory in the country’s recent presidential election, winning almost 95 percent of the vote. The announcement was made by the country’s electoral authority ANIE, with over 5.3 million people casting their ballots in favor of Tebboune.

This landslide victory for Tebboune comes as no surprise to many, as he campaigned on promises of economic reform, combating corruption, and improving the overall livelihood of Algerians. Despite facing criticism from opposition parties who boycotted the election, citing concerns of government interference and lack of transparency, Tebboune’s victory signifies a show of support from the majority of voters.

As Tebboune embarks on his second term as president, he faces the daunting task of addressing challenges such as youth unemployment, economic stagnation, and the ongoing protests that have rocked the country in recent years. It remains to be seen how Tebboune will navigate these issues and fulfill his campaign promises, but for now, his re-election marks a new chapter in Algeria’s political landscape.
