Algeria's president Abdelmadjid Tebboune has decided to hold presidential election on Sept. 7, the presidency said on Thursday.
Tebboune was elected in December 2019 for a five-year term and can run for a second and final term, according to the Algerian constitution. Last year, parliament members urged him to do so.
He has not officially announced his candidacy yet.

Algeria’s parliament on Wednesday unanimously adopted a law criminalising French colonial rule (1830–1962) and demanding official apologies and compensation from France, further straining already fragile relations between the two countries.
The Libyan army's chief of staff, Mohammed Ali Ahmed Al-Haddad, died in a plane crash on Tuesday after leaving Turkey's capital Ankara, the prime minister of Libya's internationally recognised government said, adding that four others were on the jet as well.
Algeria is moving toward a vote on a bill that would criminalise France’s rule from 1830 to 1962, presented as a “defining milestone” and a sovereign act.
