Algeria: President Tebboune sleepwalks into a second term…

“In Algérie, candidates Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Youssef Aouchiche, and Hassani Chérif Abdelali denounce inconsistencies in the provisional results of the presidential election of September 7, 2024, criticizing the opacity and contradictions of the figures announced by the National Independent Authority for Elections (ANIE)” (Africa24, 10.09.2024).

“Abdelmadjid Tebboune has been elected for a second term as head of Algeria, according to the preliminary results of the September 7 presidential elections revealed this Sunday” (TSA – Tout sur l’Algérie, 08.09.2024).

President Abdelmadjid Tebboune was re-elected in the 7^th September Presidential Elections. He has been in power since December 2019. We can certainly say that these results are questionable at best. Neither is the incumbent oozing with confidence.

The whole elections are questioned by the low turnout and lack of proper announcements of it. That the incumbent wins the election with over 94% is questionable alone. However, that isn’t new or significant for that matter. It is just systemic default and an overwhelming win.

The problem is that the turnout was super low. They tried to keep the voter turnout secret. The President only got 5,329,253 votes and the total amount of voters are 24,351,551 voters. Which means the President only got 21,88% of it. That means close to 78% of the voters either boycotted or are “null or void”. This is depressing and shows how little support the president has.

Yes, numerical his superior. His superior over a majority. A majority of the low turnout voters. The authorities and the state, which has ensured him a victory. We know the other Presidential Candidates has several of questions regarding the polls. Therefore, this is a contested election, and we knew the winner before the people went to pick up the ballots.

When you know that and see that the incumbent gets 94% of the votes. That’s when the system is on overload and the gig is up. The other candidates were just window-dressing and for the façade. These wasn’t candidates that had any shot of winning. They filled the ballots and looked righteous for the big man to rule supreme. That’s it and they played along.

The old man that has run the nation since 2019 has now gotten himself a legitimate second term. We know the man doesn’t have a popular movement surrounding him and will struggle in the years ahead of him. Not only because of his advanced age and supposed to be retired. However, because these sorts of things sow discontent. This sort of bloodless and trickery of the stats. It is only a way of fortifying an office.

President Tebboune and his allies can be giddy these days. Nevertheless, unless they change their stripes and they way the operate. Sooner or later, the kettle will boil over and the trouble will start. We are maybe not seeing it today or tomorrow. However, sooner or later… it settles in… and that’s all because of the arrogance and entitlement to power. Peace.
