The stakes are high for Algeria, Africa's second-largest country and a breeding ground for radical Islam, as it seeks to democratize, attract investment and move on from a 12-year Islamic insurgency in which more than 120,000 people are estimated to have died. Leading the pack of contenders is his former right-hand man, Ali Benflis, whom Bouteflika fired as prime minister in May. Benflis has sought to distinguish himself by calling for greater government openness than under his one-time mentor. www.boston.com /news/world/asia/articles/2004/04/06/campaigning_ends_in_algerian_election?mode=PF   (627 words)

Algerian president wins re-election in landslide as rivals cry foul The elections were billed as a watershed for Algerian democracy because for the first time the all-powerful military declared itself neutral in the process; electoral laws were liberalized so that party officials would be given vote tallies; and some 120 international observers were on hand. Bouteflika, who was elected under a cloud five years ago in an empty contest after all six of his rivals pulled out alleging fraud, asked supporters at his final campaign rally on Monday to hand him the "crushing victory" needed for a "credible state." 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. www.terradaily.com /2004/040409172553.ja5bbstr.html   (662 words)

BBC NEWS Middle East Governing party wins Algerian poll Opposition parties including the Socialist Forces Front and the Rally for Culture and Democracy had called for a boycott of the vote to protest at high unemployment, austere economic policies and poll irregularities. Critics of the regime said the election was just a show of pluralism to satisfy the West and give the appearance of democracy.

Guardian Unlimited Archive Search Not surprisingly delegates and political parties connected to the government, such as the National Liberation Front (FLN) headed by Ali Benflis and Ahmed Ouyahia's National Democratic Rally (RND), hailed Bouteflika's "historic" decisions. In the view of the radicals, the government's promises are aimed at trying to woo the Kabyle region to take part in the legislative elections set for May 30. Equally unsurprising was the reaction of the radicals, who said the government's responses fell short of the protesters' demands. www.guardian.co.uk /Archive/Article/0,4273,4379136,00.html   (610 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly Region Rallying against the leader They include an Islamist, Abdallah Gaballah, head of the Islah Party; a woman, Louisa Hanoun, spokesperson for the left-wing Workers' Party; and a Berber leader, Said Saadi head of the Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD) Party. This was followed by the speedy formation of the pro-government National Democratic Rally (RND) that was viewed as a pacified version of the FLN. The Islamic oriented Al-Nahda faced a similar scenario when its chairman, Abdallah Gaballah, was ousted from the party, forcing him to form a new party under the name of Al- Islah. weekly.ahram.org.eg /2004/684/re5.htm   (1079 words)

Middle East Institute: Policy Brief The two main Berber opposition parties, the Front of Socialist Forces (FFS) and the Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD), along with a number of prominent opposition leaders, called for an election boycott. The May 30th elections suggest the deep antipathy that many Algerians have for their leaders, and thus reveal some challenges for US policy towards the Arab world. The biggest loser was the National Democratic Rally (RND), a nationalist party that received only 47 seats, compared to 156 in the 1997 elections. www.mideasti.org /articles/doc54.html   (1091 words)
