Algeria's first woman parliamentary chair
The Algerian People's National Assembly elected, on Tuesday evening, Deputy Khalida Boufadsh from the National Liberation Front (FLN) as the Speaker of the Assembly for the tenth legislative term, making her the first woman to preside over the parliament in Algeria's history. She secured 302 votes out of 366 in a secret ballot, surpassing the candidate from the Movement of Society for Peace (MSP), Amin Alloush. Boufadsh, a doctor specializing in allergies and immunology, is regarded as a young political talent. She began her political career at the municipal and provincial council levels before entering parliament in elections that saw the lowest voter turnout of 20.79%. Her election was described as a historic moment reflecting the country's developments and its move toward empowering women and strengthening the participation of national talents.
