Algiers, Algeria | August 30th, 2024 —  Political analysts are highlighting the constructive nature of the upcoming presidential election campaigns, noting that the three candidates have predominantly focused on presenting their electoral programs rather than engaging in political controversies or invective.

The campaigns are unfolding in a notably positive environment, characterized by a focus on constructive dialogue and avoidance of negative rhetoric. According to political analyst Abdelhakim Bougherara, this approach is “extremely constructive” and aims to “raise public awareness and eliminate factors that could undermine the campaign and the presidential election.” Bougherara anticipates a “strong” voter turnout, describing the election as “particularly significant” for citizens who view their participation as crucial for reinforcing state stability and national cohesion amid regional tensions.

Addressing Citizens’ Concerns

The candidates have made it a priority to address key public concerns through their electoral programs. Issues such as housing and salary increases have been central topics in their public meetings and media outreach. Bougherara expects that these focused discussions will drive voter engagement and highlight the importance of civic participation in maintaining national stability.

Positive Proposals

Political analyst Idris Atia commends the candidates’ ambitious political discourse, noting that their programs are aligned with citizens’ aspirations and include significant positive ideas. These proposals encompass economic development inspired by the principles of the November 1st Revolution, as well as national security and foreign policy. Atia also highlights the effective use of social media platforms, where a “constructive debate” has emerged, reflecting increased public engagement with the campaigns.

Utilization of Social Media

Analyst Redouane Bouhidel observes that the candidates have adhered to the National Authority for Elections (ANIE) guidelines, maintaining a “flexible and candid” approach without resorting to attacks on competitors. This contrasts with previous election cycles marked by more contentious rhetoric. Bouhidel emphasizes the importance of a non-populist, program-focused discourse in encouraging voter participation and notes the effective use of social media to promote campaign programs. He suggests that this strategic approach will contribute to a higher voter turnout, addressing the country’s challenges head-on.

Overall, the current election campaign reflects a positive shift towards program-focused and constructive political discourse, potentially enhancing voter engagement and participation in the upcoming presidential election.
