Algerians are gearing up to participate in the presidential election, marking a significant moment in the country's political landscape. The election comes five years after mass protests led to the removal of the former president, ushering in a period of transition for the North African nation.
With a population of nearly 45 million, Algeria is Africa's second most populous country after South Africa. The upcoming election is part of a global trend, with over 50 elections taking place worldwide in 2024, involving more than half of the world's population.
