| | Algeria - Abdelaziz Bouteflika and the Government ("The Power") |
 | | The April 1999 elections were billed as democratic; however, on April 14, 1999, two days before the election, Bouteflika's six opponents pulled out of the race en masse to protest Zeroual's refusal to meet with them over charges of election fraud. |
 | | Bouteflika once served as right-hand man to Houari Boumedienne, the army colonel who, in 1965, overthrew Algeria's first civilian president, Ahmed Ben Bella. |
 | | Liamine Zeroual's annulment of the 1991 elections, which the FIS appeared to be winning hands-down, has traditionally been met with the same international condemnation that Burma's SLORC rulers faced after dishonoring the results in that country's elections in 1989, which the National Leagure for Democracy had won hands-down. |
