Algeria elects first female assembly speaker
Khalida Boufadsh, the deputy from the National Liberation Front Party, was elected as the President of the Algerian People's National Assembly for the first time in the country's history. This reflects significant shifts in women's participation and the enhancement of female representation in constitutional institutions. She received 302 votes out of 366 in a secret ballot. She is considered a rising professional figure, being a specialist in allergic and clinical immunology. Before entering politics, she held several health-related positions. She joined the parliament after the lowest voter turnout in elections, which was 20.79%. Upon her election, Boufadsh pledged to work on strengthening legislation, institutional coordination, and consolidating dialogue. She viewed her assumption of this position as a milestone in Algerian history and as evidence of the state's commitment to empowering national talents and women.
