AustriaAlgeria's parliamentary election saw historically low voter turnout, with only 21% of eligible voters participating, according to the electoral commission. The ruling National Liberation Front (FLN) secured 90 out of 407 seats, maintaining its dominance since the previous election in 2021, which had already recorded the lowest turnout in the country’s history at 23%. Experts interpret the declining participation as a sign of both public dissatisfaction and disinterest in politics. The electoral commission chairman described the high abstention rate as not unique to Algeria and called the election process 'transparent.' However, the results were overshadowed by controversy over the disqualification of numerous candidate lists, with approximately one-third deemed invalid. Several parties claimed they were excluded from certain constituencies, particularly in the capital, Algiers.
