In a statement to the press after submitting his application, Mr. Hassani Cherif stressed the importance of the September 7 deadline, emphasizing that "as an active party on the political scene, the MSP must be present with its candidate and its program."
He recalled that his candidacy "received the support of the Ennahda Movement and many citizens", noting that "this is the second election after the peaceful popular Hirak which brought Algerians together around reform and change".
For the MSP candidate, this deadline constitutes "an opportunity for reform, change and overcoming all the political, social and economic constraints that Algeria has experienced in the past."
It is also an opportunity to "look to the future of this country in light of regional and international changes," he said.
