Thousands of protesters took to the streets in the capital and other Algerian cities on Friday to demand the postponement of a presidential election. They also want the removal of the ruling elite following the end of Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s 20-year-rule last month.
The interim government is expected to extend the current transition period to allow time for preparations for the election, Reuters quoted a political source as saying.
Protest on Friday marked the 14th consecutive week of demonstrations although numbers of the crowds are smaller than at the peak of the anti-Bouteflika protests. Demonstrators now demand the resignation of interim officials in charge of supervising the scheduled July 4 election.
