President Abdelmadjid Tebboune accepted the resignation of the government led by Abdelaziz Djerad after the ruling party failed to secure the majority to form the government in June 12 elections, according to an Al Jazeera report.

The president has appointed Djerad as caretaker premier until a new cabinet is formed.

The National Liberation Front (FLN), Algeria’s biggest political party emerged as the single largest party with 97 seats in the 407-seat parliament though the elections failed to decide a majority winner, according to Al Jazeera report.

The elections were organised after two years of mass protests and political turmoil but recorded just 23 per cent of voter-turnout, the lowest ever in the history of Algerian elections.

The vote was boycotted by the long-running Hirak protest movement, the pro-democracy uprising that seeks free and fair elections and the end of military interference in politics.

Independents won 84 seats and the Islamist-leaning Movement of Society for Peace 65, while the pro-establishment Democratic National Rally party won 58 seats, AlJazeera reported.

The Future Party secured 48 seats, while the National Building Movement won 39 seats, followed by the Justice and Development Front party with two seats, it added.

A coalition of at least three parliamentary parties is required to form a majority in parliament for 204 seats, said the Al Jazeera report.

According to the Algerian Constitution, the new prime minister is nominated after president consults the leaders of the winning parties following the resignation of the incumbent government.

Algeria's political system has been military dominated which advocates replacing the Constitution and the parliament to end the biggest crisis in 10 years, according to Reuters.

The Hirak protest movement demands complete change of the entire system.
