Nominations Committee made sure to leave 15 vacant posts in the Central Committee during the conference, which made it possible to add new ministers to the list, a list that contained the file that was deposited at the level of the Interior and Local Groups Ministry, in order to obtain a certificate of conformity, which is considered as a legitimate instrument of the 10^th Conference.

With this conference FLN party has strengthened its presence in the government, while other names in the current government are likely to join the old party as militants, like the PM, bringing the number of FLN ministers to more than 13, noting that unofficial sources revealed that the Post, Information and Communication Technologies’ Minister, Imane Houda Feraoun, and the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Tourism, Amar Ghoul joined FLN.
