12:57 pm
charge for the next ninety days until new elections are held and sa is a course ally of the care and protesters have already called for his removal his appointment follows the resignation of observers sees it if the. well joining me live on set is al-jazeera. has been covering their stories for us. just give us some some background here tell us more about. katherine sol and why he is what we're hearing is a controversial choice already indeed because. he's a member of the r. india which is a. member of the governing coalition in this is the national rally for democracy a party there has been supportive of president abdulaziz part of your car for quite some time and also he says he was
12:58 pm
a staunch supporter for president when he announced his bid for a fifth term which was widely denounced by the people. at the times by the president to try to consolidate his grip on power the problem is other people are saying that we don't trust this but he has to go and there are two events taking place i was in which is the announcement by the parliament that of the vacancy and appointed him as interim president for ninety days but on the streets across you have people building up momentum towards the rejection of this announcement saying we want also the this man to step aside there are two things here. the army. is of the view that the only way to solve the crisis in algeria is to go through the procedures of the constitutions to prevent any power vacuum in the country so they were they said we only option for us was article one two which is what we're seeing right now on television the has paved the way for but of the other will
12:59 pm
still have to take over people are saying no this is not what we want because of the other one sana along with the parliament and the constitutional council institutions that were groomed by president by abdulaziz but there were parts of his legacy that are a reminder of a legacy of twenty years and therefore we want all that institutions to be dissolved and we want a new national unity government to be formed who would form that national unity government this is the this is the constitutional issue here again. for the army seems to have an option which is to trigger article seven and eight those articles say that the source of power is the people and the people have the ultimate say over orchestration and batters that could open the way for a something similar to what happened in tunisia in two thousand and eleven when the whole establishment was dismantled and they created something called a constituent assembly that took over for a transitional period the draft of the new constitution pave the way for
1:00 pm
parliamentary and presidential elections and the international community was really impressed with the process and it was described as the most orderly smooth transition to democracy since the arab spring of two thousand and eleven algeria could be a different case because the biggest concern as i said is the power vacuum they don't want to try and uncharted territory they would say let's go for the options that we have which is article one to the only problem they will face now. how to convince people to trust of the other one as the man who will take over for mighty days and the ninety days could be the most critical moment in algeria's modern history particularly since its independence in the one to sixty so what are we likely to see in these ninety days because we understand. the has been named as the choice for the interim presidents will he make some kind of will he rechecked.
