Algeria's ruling FLN secures most seats in parliament with historically low turnout

Algeria's National Liberation Front (FLN) claimed the most seats in the recent parliamentary elections, capturing 90 out of 407, but the election faced a historically low turnout amid controversy over the disqualification of over a third of prospective candidates. This low participation reflects widespread disillusionment with the political process, raising questions about the legitimacy and future of the FLN's dominance. Such low engagement could signal deeper issues within the country's political culture and could lead to future unrest if not addressed.
