Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune appointed his chief of staff, Nadir Larbaoui, to the position of prime minister. replaceing Aymen Benabderrahmane.
The change of prime minister has come as no surprise, especially as it occurred just over a month after a reorganization of the president’s office.
Nine advisors have been appointed, and their missions appear to duplicate those of the government. Their duties include “monitoring and participating in the implementation of the agenda, guidelines and decisions of the President of the Republic, and reporting to him”; “monitoring economic affairs, government activities and political and institutional matters, and reporting on developments”; and “informing the President of the Republic about the country’s political, economic, social and cultural conditions and developments, and providing him with the information he needs to make decisions.”
These changes have come at a time when President Tebboune appears to be preparing to run for a second term in the 2024 elections. Although the 77-year-old president has not yet officially announced his candidacy, as long as he keeps the support of the army − and given that he has been ruling without any real political opposition since the start of the crackdown on the Hirak (protest movement) in 2019 − there is currently no one capable of challenging him.
