Algeria’s new prime minister said on Thursday promised Algerians that he will form a government where everyone will be inclusive among the opposition.
Noureddine Bedoui laid out his plans at a news conference in Algiers three days after ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced his decision not to run for a fifth term that would have extended his 20 years in power.
Bouteflika’s offer came after tens of thousands of Algerians staged demonstrations demanding an overhaul of a stagnant political system dominated by veterans of the 1954-62 war of independence.
Prime Minister Bedoui, who replaced Ahmed Ouyahia on Monday, said the new government would be formed early next week.
“This government will have a short period, and its role is to be the support for the national conference and what Algerians agree upon,” he said.
The Move by president Abelaziz Bouteflika to step down came after 1,000 lawyers promised to not oversee election if the president will not step down.
Bouteflika is now ruling on wheelchair and Algerians said that he has no energy to rule.
