Algeria will hold early legislative elections after a referendum on a new constitution planned for November 1, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said on Sunday.
Elected last December, Tebboune has pledged to carry out political and economic reforms to meet demands raised during mass protests that forced the resignation of veteran president Abdelaziz Bouteflika in April 2019.
The current parliament was elected in 2017 for five years, with Bouteflika’s allies holding an overwhelming majority.
“We will organise legislative elections after the referendum,” Tebboune said on state television, without giving a date.
