Parties' representatives vow to make public the election campaign's irregularities

Several complaints have been lodged with the national monitoring committees of the presidential elections by the parties’ representatives since the kick off of the electoral campaign denouncing the prevailing disorder caused by some parties that make business with proxies. This, they bitterly argue, may alter the primary task of these committees and drift them from the role they were initially set up for.

• One of the breaches singled out by this institution in Algiers, deals with an illegal party leader who forged proxies after being ruled out by the constitutional council from the presidential race because he didn’t meet the requirements including age and a very weak number of signatures collected  not exceeding 800.
• According to a document, the mentioned party leader has given two proxies for two individuals in two different locations here in Algiers and brought their documents to the political committee that excluded them for two main reasons. One of them is that the party is acting illegally since it wasn’t granted permission to exercise and secondly it doesn’t appear in the list of the parties that make up the national political committee whose total number is 22 along with the representatives of  independent candidates Abdelaziz Bouteflika and Mohammed Said.
• In this respect, the Committee’s spokesman Rachid Aliane has indicated that his institution reported to the interior ministry to clarify the situation in order to put an end to these practices that hampered the smooth work of the committees.
• In addition to these irresponsible practices, the committees are suffering from the lack of commodities including Algiers’ committee which whose HQ was initially decided to be at the city’s conference room, but transferred to another location.
