Algeria is set to hold a presidential election on September 7, where incumbent President Abdelmadjid Tebboune seeks a second term against two challengers: Abdelaali Hassani from the Movement of Society for Peace and Youssef Aouchiche from the Socialist Forces Front. Despite the potential for 24 million voters, the election atmosphere is marked by apathy, with many citizens prioritizing economic struggles over political engagement, as inflation drives up prices for essentials. Human rights groups have criticized the election context, citing an erosion of civil liberties and a crackdown on dissent under Tebboune's administration. The president's move to advance the election date is viewed skeptically, with concerns that it limits campaign time for opponents. Both challengers promise reforms, including greater freedoms, but skepticism about the electoral process persists, with many regarding it as a mere formality. The election authority hopes to improve on the previous low turnout of 14% amid fears of political disenfranchisement among the populace.
