Algeria's President seeking re-election

The President of Algeria (Abdelaziz Bouteflika) is seeking his fourth term as president of the country.  This is despite concerns over both his health and corruption scandals linked to his inner circle.  His health is of primary concern, as he has not addressed the public in three years and last year suffered a stroke.  Despite all this, he and his party are expected to win the next election.  He still seems fairly popular within Algeria, being credited with bringing economic stability.
