Algiers – President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has instructed the government to revisit proposed amendments to the organic law governing elections. The directive was issued during a Council of Ministers meeting held earlier today, Sunday, December 28, 2025.
According to a statement released by the Council of Ministers, the President emphasized the need for a more thorough and careful examination of the proposed changes. The specific areas requiring further scrutiny were not detailed in the statement.
The move signals a potential delay in the implementation of the revised electoral framework. It also suggests a desire by the President to ensure that any modifications to the electoral law are meticulously reviewed to address any potential shortcomings or unintended consequences. Such careful consideration, according to analysts, is crucial to maintaining the integrity and fairness of future elections.
The organic law on elections is a fundamental piece of legislation that outlines the rules and procedures governing the electoral process in Algeria. Any amendments to this law are therefore subject to intense public and political scrutiny.
The Council of Ministers is expected to reconvene to discuss the amendments further, taking into account the President’s instructions. The revised proposals will then likely be submitted for parliamentary approval.
