Abdallah Jaballah was an Algerian politician who founded the Ennahda Movement, which later transformed into the Islamic Renaissance Party.


Birth

Abdallah Jaballah was born on 2 May 1956 in Skikda, Eastern Algeria, into a poor family.


Education

He worked while studying and after obtaining his diploma, he entered the University of Constantine and graduated from the Faculty of Law in 1978. [1]


Political Orientation

Abdallah Jaballah adopted a policy of moderation and balance in his Islamic promotional discourse and political action, and believed in dialogue and pluralism. Abdallah Jaballah, prior to the presidential elections on 17 April 2014, called for a responsible national dialogue on the legal and political conditions for creating a rule of law applicable to all. This is because the crisis in Algeria is deep and affects the structure and system of the state.

Political Experience

At the beginning, Abdallah belonged to an Islamic faction led by the preacher Sheikh Muhammad Salah Abed, one of the most prominent religious figures in Constantine. Then, with some of his comrades and like-minded individuals in the autumn of 1974, he established a secret organization known as Jamaat Jaballah and Islamic Jamaat.


Arrest and Imprisonment

Jaballah was imprisoned several times from 1982 to 1986 on charges of incitement through his passionate religious sermons, and after the bloody events of October 1988, he founded the Ennahda Movement, which in March 1989 transformed into a political party named Islamic Renaissance Party.


Elections

Following the cancellation of the parliamentary elections in January 1992, Jaballah, who was head of the Committee for Respect for the People's Choice, boycotted the 1995 presidential elections. After the Islamic Renaissance Party won 34 seats in the legislative elections in June 1997, Abdallah Jaballah refused to enter the coalition government.


Resignation from Ennahda Party Presidency

Jaballah opposed the representatives of the Islamic Renaissance Party who chose to support Abdelaziz Bouteflika while he was participating in the presidential elections in April 1999. Abdallah Jaballah decided to run as an independent candidate, then decided to resign from the Islamic Renaissance Party before the presidential vote.


Formation of the National Reform Movement

The parliamentary group of the Islamic Renaissance Party, led by Habib Adami, took over most of Abdallah Jaballah's powers, so he decided to establish the National Reform Movement. The National Reform Movement itself stated that Algeria has an internal crisis. The Ministry of Interior warned Abdallah Jaballah against participating in the elections, and Jaballah withdrew from the elections.


Formation of the Justice and Development Party

In the midst of the Arab Spring movement and revolution, Abdallah Jaballah announced the establishment of the Justice and Development Party with national figures in a public march on 30 July 2011, and on 10 February 2012, he was elected as the president of the Justice and Development Party. The Justice and Development Party decided to boycott the presidential elections on 17 April 2014. Abdallah Jaballah justified the boycott of the presidential elections due to the lack of conditions guaranteeing the integrity and transparency of the elections, making this boycott inevitable. This was especially after the Ministry of Interior authorities refused to form an independent body to monitor the conduct of the presidential elections. Abdallah Jaballah currently holds the presidency of the National Reform Movement and the Justice and Development Party[2].
