During a political gathering in Oran on Tuesday, Abdelkrim Benmbarek, secretary general of the National Liberation Front (FLN), urged the party’s candidates and local officials preparing for Algeria’s upcoming municipal and provincial elections to center their mandates strictly on tangible results and citizen welfare.
Addressing party activists and local residents, Benmbarek emphasized that public office is a solemn public duty rather than an honorary title, stressing that electoral trust requires an active and enduring commitment to addressing community needs.
Calling for a modernization of local governance, the FLN leader argued that municipal and provincial assemblies must transition from passive administrative bodies into dynamic centers for community engagement and problem-solving. He encouraged future elected officials to prioritize open dialogue, transparency, and actionable solutions across vital sectors such as infrastructure, urban planning, transport, health, education, and sanitation. Turning to the economic potential of Oran, Benmbarek highlighted the province’s robust port, industrial, and tourism assets, advocating for strategic planning, inter-institutional synergy, and the active involvement of civil society and youth to drive regional development.
