The final results in Algeria’s parliamentary elections confirm an overpowering victory for the national liberation front (NLF) who will dominate the future parliament with 220 representatives. Polls opened across Algeria at 8am Thursday (May 10th), with nearly 21 million voters expected to take part in the historic legislative election.
Schools serving as polling stations across the country’s 48 were highly secured and about 60,000 police officers were posted in the areas around polling stations. Anti-fraud measures were also set up to ensure total transparency as promised by the president Abdelaziz Bouteflika whose appeal to massive vote seems to have found echo in some departments.
