President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has initiated a series of administrative reshuffles and personnel changes within the Algerian government.

In late July 2026, the President issued decrees dismissing Salima Mesrati, the head of the anti-corruption watchdog, and Abdelkhalek Sayouda, the governor of Constantine. M’hamed Djellaoui was appointed to serve as interim president of the anti-corruption authority, while Kamal-Eddine Kerbouche was named the new governor of Constantine.

By mid-August 2026, the restructuring continued with the dismissal of Lyes Bouriche, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Communication. This move followed a pattern of adjustments affecting various levels of the state apparatus, including presidential advisors and the leadership of the Mediator of the Republic.
