Algeria's ruling National Liberation Front has emerged as the largest party in parliament after legislative elections marked by a record-low voter turnout of just 21 percent. The poll highlighted growing public apathy despite government assurances of a transparent process.
Algeria's ruling National Liberation Front (FLN) has secured the largest share of seats in parliament after winning 90 of the 407 seats contested in the July 2 legislative elections.
The results, announced on Monday by the National Independent Elections Authority (ANIE), reaffirm the FLN's dominance despite widespread voter disengagement.
Turnout hits historic low
Only 21 percent of Algeria's 25 million registered voters cast ballots, marking the lowest turnout in the country's legislative election history.
