"Voting for a second term for the independent candidate, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, will allow him to continue his overall development in all fields," Merad said at a meeting held at the Kadi Mohamed House of Culture.
Mr Abdelmadjid Tebboune's programme, according to him, will promote Bechar into an Industrial Centre of Excellence (ICoE), through a number of mega projects, including the future steel complex and the railroad Bechar-Tindouf, a project underway to serve the iron deposit of Gara-Djebilet.
Merad underlined that the programme of Abdelmadjid Tebboune provided for the creation of 450,000 jobs, the continuation of the wage increase and the achievement of big structuring projects, to make Algeria an emerging country.
He urged people to vote in large numbers on September 7 and choose the independent candidate, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to ensure the completion of the building of a strong Algeria.
