Algeria Election Sees Slow Turnout Amid BoycottThe women-led Hirak movement in Algeria called for a boycott of the parliamentary elections, citing repression and “old-guard” networks.

Algeria’s election authority head Mohamed Chorfi said late on Saturday that the turnout in the country’s parliamentary elections had reached 30.2%.
