|f This article examines the Algerian parliamentary elections held on May 4, 2017, as a link in the country's democratic process that began in 1989. It also provides, in brief, relevant political and social backgrounds from the early 1960s to the upheavals of the 1990s. \nThe article explains that the political climate in Algeria has become subject to a two-party system: the ruling National Liberation Front (FNL) party and its partner, the National Democratic Party (NDP), which received the majority of 462 seats in the National People's Assembly. It also reviews the status of other parties that participated in these elections, including pro-government and opposition parties, notably Islamic, secular, nationalist, leftist, socialist, and communist parties. It should be noted that 63 parties took part in the elections, which put up 12,000 candidates through 97 lists. \nMany prominent Islamic parties nominated male and female candidates, which has subsequently become mandatory by law. These main parties include the Peace Society Movement, the Ennahda Party, the Change Front and the Justice and Development Front. Other parties include the Community of Socialist Forces, the Labour Party, the Democratic Cultural Rally and other small parties. \nThe article notes that although voters lacked enthusiasm, it is important that the democratic process has not stopped in the country since 1997, elections have been held on schedule since that year. The article also stressed the existence of economic crises that Algeria is experiencing, such as high unemployment and low oil imports on which the country depends. These two problems must be focused on, given the pressure that they could exert on the state and its political system.\nThis article examines the Algerian parliamentary elections held on May 4, 2017, as a link in the country's democratic process that began in 1989.
