Algerian parties are gearing up to disclose their final lists for the upcoming local elections, as the countdown to the campaign begins. The National Independent Electoral Authority is expected to finalize the lists after completing the procedures for replacing disqualified candidates. This process may lead to changes in the number of lists participating in the elections. According to sources, the National Democratic Rally (RND) is set to unveil its participation figures during its regular national council meeting on Saturday.
The RND is expected to have submitted around 900 lists for the municipal and provincial popular councils. However, the final tally will be confirmed after the completion of the candidate replacement procedures. Meanwhile, the Movement of Society for Peace (MSP) will review its participation in the local elections on the same day, with its leader, Abdelali Hassani, expected to provide details on the party's performance. Sources indicate that the MSP has submitted over 400 lists.
The National Liberation Front (FLN) has decided to present its participation figures on Tuesday during a special meeting. According to available data, the FLN will participate with around 1300 lists, making it one of the political formations with the most extensive coverage of this election. Despite its significant participation, the party was unable to enter ten municipalities in eastern Algeria, including strongholds in Batna and Oum El Bouaghi.
The National Building Movement has reportedly submitted around 600 lists, pending the outcome of the candidate replacement procedures, which may impact the final tally for various political formations. These numbers come as parties maintain secrecy regarding their final list submissions, despite acknowledging a decline in participation compared to the 2021 local elections.
The final participation figures will significantly influence the actual level of participation for each party in the election. The National Independent Electoral Authority has confirmed a 30,000-candidate increase compared to the previous local elections. With the electoral campaign set to begin on November 5, parties are under pressure to finalize their lists and prepare their electoral programs.
