2011-12-19

The Arab League, United Nations, EU, African Union and other organizations will be invited to observe Algeria's parliamentary elections next spring, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika told legislators on Sunday (December 18th). The elections will be followed by a revision of the constitution, in line with the Algeria reforms promised last April, he said.

The government will also authorize new political parties and launch a wide-scale media campaign about the parliamentary poll, Bouteflika said.
