	Bouteflika's challenger is 'moderate' Islamist -DAWN - International; 05 April, 2004
		Places of worship and poor neighbourhoods are the focus for activists campaigning for moderate Muslim party leader Abdallah Djaballah to win the presidency on April 8.
		The rise of Djaballah and of his El Islah party marks a turnaround in the fortunes of the Muslim movement in Algeria due to their indirect association, even if unfairly, with a decade of violence led by fundamentalist militants.
		Djaballah - who grew up in Constantine and was detained several times in the 1980s for his radical sermons - has vowed to boost political and press freedom and respect the constitution.

	Now They are Seven: Algeria’s Candidates, Part Two, The Estimate, March 26, 1999
		Abdallah Djaballah was for some years head of the small Nahda (renaissance or rebirth) party, a moderate Islamist group which has participated in the electoral process.
		Djaballah, a 43-year-old figure from Skikda who wears an Islamist’s beard, then bolted his own party and started a new one, the National Reform Movement, though he is running for President as an independent.
		Of the three less important candidates, Mokdad Sifi is also an easterner from Tebessa, as is Djaballah (Skikda), while Youssef El Khatib, born in Chlef, made his name as the commander of Wilaya 4 during the revolution, controlling the area around the capital of Algiers.

	Algerian president wins re-election in landslide as rivals cry foul
		On Thursday, Benflis, Sadi and Abdallah Djaballah, a radical Islamist candidate, issued a joint communique saying that according to their projections no candidate had won more than 50 percent of the vote, and a second-round run-off would be necessary.
		Interior Minister Fazid Zerhouni, in announcing the results, said he "categorically" rejected the possibility of fraud, arguing that every possible measure was taken to "guarantee" a free and fair vote.
		Abdallah Djaballah came in third with 4.84 percent, and fifth and sixth place went to Trotskyite Louisa Hanoune -- the first woman to stand for president in Algeria or anywhere in the Arab world -- with 1.16 percent and nationalist Ali Fawzi Rebaine with 0.64 percent.

		Abdallah Djaballah, an Islamic candidate, came third, with 4.84 percent, according to the official results.
		Bouteflika's arch-rival Benflis issued a joint statement with fellow candidates Sadi and Djaballah late Thursday saying that their projections showed that no candidate had garnered more than 50 percent of the vote.
		Even as Bouteflika supporters celebrated victory into the early hours of the morning, ahead of the release of the official figures, the three were denouncing the "fraud that has begun to work".

		He ran against five opposition candidates: former prime minister Ali Benflis, moderate Islamist Abdallah Djaballah, Ali Faouzi Rebaïane of the Algeria of Patriots party, Louisa Hanoune of the Trotskyism Workers’ Party, and Saïd Sadi, leader of the Rally for Culture and Democracy.
		If Bouteflika’s victory is not surprising, the huge margin by which he won definitely is. Indeed, in a recent poll conducted by Paris-based IMMAR Research & Consultancy, the number of those who said they would vote for Bouteflika stood at 55%, while 17% of those interviewed chose Benflis.
		Even before votes were cast, three of the presidential candidates, including Benflis, said they had information that the Bouteflika camp planned to declare victory in the first round, with up to 55% of the votes.

		As for the MN, which, having won 34 seats under Djaballah's leadership in 1997, was then taken over by Lahbib Adami at Djaballah's expense, it has been destroyed, losing over two thirds of its vote and all but one of its seats, including Adami's seat at Khenchela.
		The way Adami and his associates evicted the MN's founder and leader, Abdallah Djaballah, in 1998 in order to take the party into the coalition government left a bad impression, and the blatant lack of seriousness of Nahnah's rhetoric has been a kind of running gag for years.
		In contrast, Djaballah's principled refusal to agree to cooptation as the MN's leader four years ago and his stubborn, almost heroic, insistence on starting all over again by founding a new party rather than compromise himself, has earned him real credit in the considerable element of opinion disposed to listen to Islamist themes.

		The amnesty, which is expected to be put to a referendum later this year, is expected to include rebels and security forces but no details have yet been given.
		Djaballah's support for an amnesty is important as he is seen as the voice for the moderate Islamic movement and is expected to be influential on undecided rebels on whether or not they lay down their arms, analysts say.
		Djaballah said for an amnesty to bring Algeria out of its crisis its so-called "dark dossiers" needed to be addressed.

	AISA - Electronic Monograph: Algeria: A Second Term for Bouteflika
		The official results were as follows: 84.99% to Abdelaziz Bouteflika; 6.42% to Ali Benflis; 5.02% to Abdallah Djabalah; 1.49% to Said Sadi; 1% to Louisa Hannoun; and 0.63% to Fawzi Rabaine.
		Noteworthy is that Sadi was not the only candidate supported by the population of the region, as he was seriously challenged by Benflis.
		Abdallah Djaballah, a conservative Islamic leader, also received meagre public support, due to the fact that Algerians have turned their backs on religiously based parties as a result of the instability that has developed since 1992, from the FIS activism.

		Pour Djaballah, le boycott est venu essentiellement des «assiettes électorales kabyles et islamistes»; et cette attitude «traduit le scepticisme à l’égard de la possibilité de réaliser le changement par la voie des urnes».
		Djaballah réitère le choix de son parti pour l’action pacifique même s’il émet de «sérieux doutes sur l’orientation démocratique du pouvoir».

		The president’s three main rivals - Benflis, Islamic candidate Abdallah Djaballah and secularist Said Sadi - issued a communique on Tuesday, April 7, in which they complained a plot was being made by Bouteflika’s supporters to end him winning the poll.
		The “plot” was being hatched in which Bouteflika's camp would claim victory with 53 to 55 percent of the vote before all the ballots were counted, according the communique.
		Then, all six of his rivals - who included Djaballah - pulled out the day before, claiming that vote-rigging was already in full swing.

		The Movement for an Islamic Renaissance, a legal party led by Sheikh Abdallah Djaballah, whose face can be seen on posters throughout the Casbah, won an impressive 43 seats in the National Assembly in last year's elections, and Bouteflika is courting him with an eye on the 2004 elections.
		The leader of a moderate Islamist party, the Wafa, Ahmed Taleb Ibrahimi, a former high-ranking FLN official and one of Algeria's most respected politicians, is barred from running on the grounds that the Wafa numbers among its leaders several former FIS activists.
		In fact, it is less fundamentalist than Djaballah's party, which is close to the Muslim Brotherhood.

		Fawzi said the Bouteflika campaign's independent tally gave the incumbent some 70 percent of the vote, with radical Islamist candidate Abdallah Djaballah a distant second.
		Three challengers to Bouteflika, including his arch-rival Ali Benflis, had issued a statement saying that they projected that a second-round runoff vote would be necessary, suggesting a difference of 20 percentage points or more between the two sides' calculations of the incumbent's score.
		"By the light of information collected by all the offices of the three candidates Said Sadi, Abdallah Djaballah and Ali Benflis, it emerges that the general trend is towards a two-round vote," the three said in a communique, warning of "serious consequences" if results failed to confirm their projections.

		On the other hand, the national bureau of the party laid the complete responsibility on Djaballah for the state of the party.

		The subsequent open support of Bouteflika not only caused a rift within the main coalition party, it also brought about a split in the Islamist Al Nahda party, which in a surprising turn of events backed the army’s choice prior to the election.
		Al Nahda’s founder and now former leader, Abdallah Djaballah, disappointed with the Politburo’s decision, set up a new party to contest the elections until his withdrawal the day before the polls.
		A completely free and fair election—with moderate elements of FIS released from prison and allowed to participate—would have been the best step toward national reconciliation, true democracy and the best long-term strategy to bring an end to the vicious cycle of violence and put Algeria on the road to some semblance of civil society.

		After the ratification of the 1989 constitution which gave room for political plurality, leaders of the Islamic movement, led by Sheikh Sahnoun, formed the Islamic Da`wah League as an umbrella grouping all Islamic factions.
		Other co-founders of the league were Abassi Madani, Mahfoud Nahnah and Abdallah Djaballah.
		Thus with politics showing its ugly head and personal difference emerging, the Islamic Da`wah League project was nipped in the bud.

		Some of the group,led by `Abdallah Benkirane, chose a non-confrontational, reformist posture similar to that advocated by Zamzami.
		But what in the end stands out as most salient was the FIS's ability to repeatedly mobilize large-scale support in competitive, highly-charged electoral contests, even after its top echelon was imprisoned in June 1991, and then in its capability to mount a sustained armed uprising beginning in January 1992.
		The two more moderate, "gradualist" Islamist parties, Hamas, led by Mahfoud Nahnah, and al-Nahda, headed by Shaykh Abdallah Djaballah, were completely overwhelmed by the FIS and won only minimal support in the 1990 and 1991 elections.
