Bouteflika subsequently organized a referendum on his policies to restore peace and security to Algeria and to test his support among his countrymen after the contested election and won with 81% of the vote, but this figure was also disputed by opponents.
Bouteflika's plan aims at concluding his efforts of ending the civil war, from a political and judicial point of view.

On April 8, 2004, he was re-elected by 85% of the vote in an election that was praised by observers as an example of democracy in the Arab world, while contested by his rival and former Chief of Staff Ali Benflis, a low-key provincial state prosecutor with connections in the military establishment.
Bouteflika was an important part of the image of the optimistic and dynamic Algeria that rose after the 8 year long fight against France.
Bouteflika is considered to be moderate in his politics, with a political orientation that lies in the middle between socialism and capitalism.
