Add article description

Presidential elections were held in Algeria on 16 November 1995, in the midst of the Algerian Civil War. The result was a victory for Liamine Zeroual, head of the High Council of State at the time, who won 61% of the vote. The Armed Islamic Group of Algeria threatened to kill anyone who voted, with the slogan "one vote, one bullet", but official voter turnout was 75%.[1]

Conduct

Delegations of observers came from the Arab League, the African Union, and the United Nations, and reported no major problems. The Armed Islamic Group had threatened to kill voters, but the elections passed with few attacks. Voter turnout was high, despite the three largest parties of the 1991 parliamentary elections (the Islamic Salvation Front, National Liberation Front and Socialist Forces Front) calling for a boycott.
