In a formal ceremony held at the People’s Palace in Algiers, Abdelmadjid Tebboune was sworn in on Tuesday for his second term as president of Algeria. His inauguration follows the confirmation of his electoral victory by the country’s constitutional court, after securing a substantial majority in the recent national elections.

Tebboune, who garnered 7.7 million votes—equivalent to 84.3 percent of the total vote—saw a notable rise in support compared to his 2019 election, where he received 58 percent. However, his most recent win was met with some controversy. While the election authority verified his strong margin, the result was challenged by two of his opponents, resulting in a slight adjustment from the initially reported figures.Abdelmadjid Tebboune Sworn In for Second Term as Algeria's President

At 78 years old, Tebboune’s presidency has not been without criticism. Human rights organizations, particularly Amnesty International, have voiced concerns about the country’s stifling of political dissent during his administration. The organization noted that under his leadership, authorities have maintained a strict stance against opposition, with growing repression of civil liberties and freedom of expression.

Despite these concerns, Tebboune’s re-election solidifies his political presence in Algeria, and his administration is expected to continue navigating both domestic and international challenges in the coming years.
