The opposition block to Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, which includes the largest opposition political parties, is in a state of a major conflict with the ruling party. The "Mezaffran" document, which emerged from the first meeting of the Algerian opposition, 20 years after the "Sant'Egidio" meeting in 1995 called the "Rome Agreement" and called the "Reconciliation Agreement", divided the opposition leaders.

The current that will participate in the election, scheduled to be held in May 4, represented by the Movement for a Society for Peace and Renaissance, and the Justice, Development and Rally Front for Culture and Democracy, believes that the Mezaffran document has no reason to boycott the election, while the other current, which announced its boycott to the election, continued to accuse his opponent in the body.

The Islamic parties, which announced their participation in the upcoming parliamentary elections, lined up with critics of the boycotters. The Islamic parties and personalities urged the citizens not to boycott the election, adding that boycotting the coming election will contribute in rigging the elections.

The candidate of the Islamic Union, in the province of Algiers, which includes three Islamic formations, Hassan Laribi, criticized the boycotters, and said in a statement, that their step shows that they are weak to achieve positive results during the upcoming elections, adding that their mission is based on jamming, under the guidance of hidden powers.

The senior leader of the Justice and Development Front presented a number of justifications that the boycotters adopt in their argument for boycotting. He pointed out that the boycotters saw through the previous decades after the transitional council from 1997 to 2017 that the authority created the parliament to pass its unfair laws to the community, and to inform international public opinion that the opposition is not linked to the people by practicing fraud in every entitlement.

On the other hand, the leader of the New Generation Party, Sufian Gilali, who announced his boycotting of the upcoming elections, accused the president of the Movement for the Society of Peace, Abdul Razzaq Mikri, of overthrowing the opposition and selling it in the copper market, pointing out the impossibility of continuing political action with the opponents who announced their participation.

Abdul Razzaq al-Maqri responded to the charges of Gilali saying that the committee of freedoms and democratic transition did not oblige any party to take a particular position on the elections.
