Xinhua, May 31, 2015 Adjust font size:

Members of the new central committee of the ruling National Liberation Front (FLN) on Saturday in Algiers reelected incumbent Secretary General Ammar Saadani for a new term of five years.

Saadani was first elected as Secretary General of FLN in September 2013, replacing Abdelaziz Belkhadem.

After being reelected, Saadani, 65 years old, addressed the audience saying that "the FLN has to be a guide, and this requires its members and its senior officials to live up to the mission of our revolution martyrs."
