Following the provisional results of Algeria's presidential election, the two opposition candidates have legally challenged the outcome. Incumbent President Abdelmadjid Tebboune won with a commanding 94.7% share of the vote, prompting Islamist Abdellali Hassani Cherif and socialist Youcef Aouchiche to file appeals with Algeria's Constitutional Court.
Algerian law allows the court ten days to rule on the appeals, potentially leading to a recalculation of each candidate's totals. Despite Tebboune's victory, the challengers have criticized the election officials and disputed the vote count.
