Arab League to monitor Algerian elections next month

Algerian president’s planned bid for fifth term in office has already sparked several demonstrations

By Mohamed al-Rayes

CAIRO (AA) - The Arab League will send an observer mission to monitor Algerian presidential elections slated for April 18, according to a Wednesday league statement.

The decision was reportedly made during a meeting in Cairo between Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit and Algerian Foreign Minister Abdelkader Messahel.

The mission will be tasked with monitoring the balloting and subsequent vote-counting process, according to the statement.

Last month, Algeria’s ruling National Liberation Front nominated the 82-year-old President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to run for a fifth term in office.

Since then, Algeria has seen several anti-Bouteflika demonstrations in different parts of the country, including capital Algiers.
