Algeria's First Woman Assembly President
Khalida Boufadel, a deputy from the National Liberation Front Party, was elected as the Speaker of the People's National Assembly in Algeria, marking the first time a woman has presided over the lower house of Parliament since its establishment. She received 302 votes out of 366 in a secret ballot, surpassing the candidate from the Ennahda Movement, Ameen Aloush, who secured 57 votes, and the candidate from the Rally for Culture and Democracy, who received 7 votes. Boufadel, 44 years old, is a specialist doctor in allergy and immunology. She began her political career through local work before moving on to Parliament and succeeded the previous Assembly Speaker, Ibrahim Boughali. This achievement represents an important step reflecting the increasing representation of women in political institutions in Algeria.
