ALGIERS (Reuters) - Algeria will hold a presidential election on Thursday July 4, a statement from the presidency said on Wednesday.
Algeria's interim president, Abdelkader Bensalah, had promised on Tuesday in a televised speech to organise free elections after weeks of protests that led to the resignation of Abdelaziz Bouteflika after 20 years as president.
