Algiers, Algeria | September 14th, 2024 — In a statement reflecting on Algeria’s recent political developments, the Office of the Council of the Nation (Senate) praised the early presidential elections as a significant achievement in the country’s democratic journey. This election, marked by transparency and free expression of the people’s will, was seen as a testament to Algeria’s commitment to democratic values and sovereignty.

The Senate highlighted that Algeria’s democratic experience has been greatly reinforced by the constitutional reforms introduced on November 1, 2020. These amendments are viewed as key to advancing both political and economic governance. The reforms have helped institutionalize ethical governance, ensuring democracy is not just an abstract ideal but a lived reality in both the political and economic spheres. This shift has positioned Algeria on a transformative path toward better leadership and public integrity.

Under the leadership of Salah Goudjil, Speaker of the Council of the Nation, the Senate commended the country’s balanced approach to governance, emphasizing the separation of powers and the expansion of citizenship rights. This has ensured that national interests remain the core focus of Algeria’s political agenda.

Central to these developments was the early presidential election, which the Senate described as a milestone in Algeria’s evolving democracy. The process allowed citizens to fully exercise their sovereignty, and it reaffirmed their commitment to the national vision set in motion by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune in 2019. Tebboune’s presidency is credited with propelling the country toward building a “new republic,” with visible advancements already being made in a short span of time.

The Senate particularly commended Tebboune for maintaining regular, transparent elections, which it called a cornerstone of Algeria’s political identity. The Office of the Council expressed its congratulations to the Tebboune administration for successfully managing the democratic process, emphasizing the critical role of such elections in maintaining Algeria’s institutional integrity.

Additionally, the Senate underscored Algeria’s readiness to confront any challenges it faces, noting that the country’s evolving democratic model is open to continuous evaluation and improvement. It does not shy away from acknowledging its shortcomings but rather seeks to address them head-on. This commitment to self-reflection and reform, the Senate noted, exemplifies Algeria’s dynamic democracy and its capacity to grow stronger through transparency and accountability.

The Council expressed confidence in Algeria’s resilience, lauding the country for embracing opportunities for development while strengthening the unity, sovereignty, and ethical governance that underpins its democratic system. With these efforts, Algeria stands as a model for democratic evolution, setting a powerful example for the region.
