Certainly, the joint press release did not explicitly state that these parties support Tebboune’s candidacy, but, by praising the work of the current tenant of the El Mouradia Palace during his mandate as head of state, he makes it clear. For now, precision is required, President Tebboune has refrained from revealing his intentions about this next presidential election.

Thus the 10 political parties consider that President Tebboune “kept, during his five-year mandate, all the electoral promises to which he committed to the Algerian people.” “As he has achieved all the commitments contained in his electoral program,” the joint press release further indicates, despite the Covid-19 pandemic and price fluctuations on international markets.

It is not only these 10 parties that have shown their availability to support a possible candidacy of President Tebboune. A few days ago a quartet of parties, including the FLN, the RND, the Front El Moustakbal, and the El Bina movement, created a coalition of parties for the majority of Algeria (CPMA).

This bloc has since experienced some hiccups leading the El Bina movement to freeze its participation. Frictions opposed the FLN and the El Bina movement. The FLN accused Bengrina’s party of wanting to play solo by announcing that the candidate of its choice is none other than President Tebboune.

According to many observers, it is partly because of these tensions within the CPMA that the El Bina movement initiated yesterday’s meeting with other political parties. Note that in addition to the El Bina movement, El Fajr El Jadid, the PRA and the New Algeria Front are also part of this political bloc created yesterday.
