Brahim Merad Pledges Administrative Upgrade for Khemis Miliana: A Major Step Toward Decentralization

Algiers, Algeria | August 23rd, 2024 — Brahim Merad, campaign director for independent presidential candidate Abdelmadjid Tebboune, delivered a significant announcement this Friday during a campaign meeting held in Khemis Miliana, a key town in the wilaya of Aïn Defla. In a move that could transform the administrative landscape of the region, Merad disclosed that Khemis Miliana is set to benefit from the upcoming administrative reorganization, with the possibility of being promoted to the status of a full-fledged wilaya.

This proposed change, according to Merad, reflects Tebboune’s broader strategy to decentralize governance and bring decision-making centers closer to the people. By promoting Khemis Miliana to a wilaya, Tebboune aims to facilitate better access to public services, ensure more equitable distribution of resources, and create a more responsive local government structure.

“We are committed to increasing the number of wilayas in Algeria,” Merad declared before an enthusiastic crowd. “I promise you that once the administrative redistricting is finalized, Khemis Miliana will be recognized as its own wilaya.”

Merad also took the opportunity to praise President Tebboune’s track record in office, emphasizing the importance of supporting his reelection bid to continue the reforms that have already delivered tangible improvements in governance and infrastructure across the country. “The achievements under President Tebboune’s leadership are clear,” Merad remarked. “Supporting his project is crucial for maintaining the momentum of progress and ensuring that regions like Khemis Miliana receive the attention and resources they deserve.”

The promise of administrative elevation comes at a critical juncture as Tebboune’s campaign gathers momentum, focusing on themes of decentralization, local development, and citizen empowerment. If realized, the promotion of Khemis Miliana to wilaya status would mark a milestone in the government’s ongoing efforts to modernize Algeria’s administrative divisions and provide a more direct line of governance to its citizens.
