Algeria’s parliamentary election campaign entered its second week with candidates facing challenges in attracting public interest, overshadowed by the ongoing 2026 World Cup. Reports indicate a noticeable lack of public mobilization, despite efforts by candidates to engage voters. A survey of advertising spaces in the affluent Val d’Hydra district of Algiers revealed significant vacancies on campaign billboards. The low visibility raises questions about voter engagement and the effectiveness of campaign strategies during this period. The elections are scheduled for July 2nd, but the World Cup appears to be dominating public attention. This presents a unique challenge for political parties seeking to convey their messages and secure votes. The situation suggests a potential for low voter turnout.
