The announcement of Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's resignation did not meet the expectations of protesters and opposition leaders, who demand significant changes in the country's power structure. Protests have been ongoing since February 22, challenging the political status quo and Bouteflika, who has been largely absent from public life since a 2013 stroke. Bouteflika announced he would step down at the end of his term on April 28. Concerns arise that his departure might lead to a handpicked successor. The Algerian Constitution states that the President of the Upper House, Abdelkader Ben Salah, an ally of Bouteflika, will serve as interim leader for up to 90 days while new elections are organized.
