Algerian Election Results Disputed by Opposition Candidates
Incumbent President Tebboune's overwhelming victory faces legal challenges over alleged vote-counting irregularities.
- Opposition candidates Abdelaali Hassani Cherif and Youcef Aouchiche have legally challenged the presidential election results in Algeria.
- The National Independent Electoral Authority (ANIE) reported incumbent President Abdelmadjid Tebboune won with 94.7% of the vote.
- Significant discrepancies in vote counts and turnout figures have been cited as reasons for the challenges.
- All three presidential candidates, including Tebboune, criticized ANIE's handling of the election.
- The Constitutional Court has ten days to rule on the appeals, which could lead to a vote recount.
