People’s National Assembly, with its new formation, opened, today, Thursday, its ninth legislative session, which began with the election of Ibrahim Boughali, as its new president.
The secret ballot process, which took place this afternoon, resulted in the victory of MP Boughali from the free list “Unity and Deliberation” for the electoral district of Ghardaia, headed by the National People’s Assembly, after seizing 295 votes against 87 votes for his rival Ahmed Sadouk of the Movement for Peace Society (the electoral process for the province of Chlef) out of a total of 382 expressed votes.
In a speech immediately after his election, the new president of the lower house of Parliament stressed the excellence of this legislative mandate, which he said “establishes an honest truth for the new Algeria that the Algerian people wanted and to which is committed the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune.”
He also pledged to “ensure the coordination between various parliamentary groups and the government in order to make the program of the President of the Republic that the people have recommended to him succeed.”
The vote was preceded by the approval of the report of the Membership Proof Committee, which took place in the first public sessions of the new National People’s Assembly, which took place under the presidency of the oldest winning candidate, with the assistance of the two youngest deputies.
It is worth noting, in this regard, that the final results announced by the Constitutional Council on the 23rd of last June confirmed the victory of the National Liberation Front (FLN) with the largest number of seats in the Council (98 seats), followed by the independent lists that won 84 seats, and then the Movement of Society for Peace (MSP) with 65 seats and finally the National Democratic Rally, which won 58 seats.
Al-Moustakbel Front, in turn, won 48 seats, while 39 seats went back to the “Al-Binnaa National Movement”, 3 seats for the “Voice of the People” party, and two seats each for the “Justice and Development Front,” “Freedom and Justice” party, “Al-Fajr Al-Djadid” party, and “The Good Governance Front”.
