Algerian President Tebboune Re-elected Amid Criticism

News summary

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has been re-elected with over 94% of the vote, according to the country's electoral authority, ANIE. Despite his significant win, the election saw low voter turnout, with less than six million out of 24 million eligible voters participating. Allegations of irregularities and a repressive campaign atmosphere were raised by opposing candidates and international organizations such as Amnesty International. Tebboune's landslide victory follows his first term, which began amid pro-democracy protests and widespread voter boycotts. His main challengers, Abdelaali Hassani and Youcef Aouchiche, received minimal support. The election's legitimacy is questioned due to the absence of independent observers and reported proxy group voting.
