Algerian Candidate Hassani Cherif's Campaign Says It Recorded Election Violations

The campaign said the violations included putting pressure on some polling station officials to inflate the results, failure to deliver vote-sorting records to the candidates' representatives, and instances of proxy group voting, Reuters reported.

Algerians voted on Saturday in an election in which military-backed President Abdulmadjid Tebboune is widely expected to win a second term.
