Expressing that 48 of the 361 objections to the council were accepted, Fenniche said that in some states, the results of the survey were canceled and corrected.
Fenniche stated that the FLN, one of the “pro-regime” parties of former President Abdulaziz Bouteflika, who had to leave the administration as a result of popular movements in 2019, took the lead with a total of 98 seats, which corresponds to 24.07 percent of the 407 total seats in the National People’s Assembly.
