History
The Future Front was founded on February 9, 2012 after its leader, {{ill|Abdelaziz Belaïd|fr}}, split from the National Liberation Front (FLN). It is a centrist party, dominated by youth and holds a conciliatory approach towards the ruling regime.{{Cite web|url=https://www.aljazeera.net/encyclopedia/movementsandparties/2017/5/4/تعرف-على-أحزاب-المعارضة-بانتخابات|title=تعرف على أحزاب المعارضة بانتخابات الجزائر|website=www.aljazeera.net|access-date=30 June 2020}} The party won two seats in the 2012 Algerian parliamentary elections and 14 seats in the 2017 elections.{{Cite web|url=https://www.aljazairalyoum.com/%D8%AC%D8%A8%D9%87%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AA%D9%82%D8%A8%D9%84-%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%AD%D8%A9-%D9%84%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%A6%D8%AC-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B9%D9%8A/|title=You are being redirected...|website=www.aljazairalyoum.com|access-date=30 June 2020}} Its presidential candidate and leader of the party, Abdelaziz Belaïd, came third in the 2014 Algerian presidential election with 3.36% of the vote. In the 2019 presidential elections, his support rose to 6.67% but he only came fifth in the race.
In 2019, during the transitional period after the resignation of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the Future Front called for the inclusion of "all the fringes of society" in the process of the presidential elections, so that those elections may be "transparent and regular".{{Cite web|url=http://www.aps.dz/algerie/93419-front-el-moustakbal-pour-l-association-de-toutes-les-franges-de-la-societe-au-dialogue|title=Front El Moustakbal: pour l'association de toutes les franges de la société au dialogue|first=Dib|last=Nassima|website=www.aps.dz|access-date=30 June 2020}} In June 2020, a representative of the party, Samir Chaabna, was appointed as Deputy Minister of the PM in charge of connections with Algerians abroad.{{Cite web|url=http://www.aps.dz/algerie/106596-chaabna-prend-ses-fonctions-de-ministre-delegue-charge-de-la-communaute-nationale-a-l-etranger|title=Chaabna prend ses fonctions de ministre délégué chargé de la communauté nationale à l'étranger|first=Boudjedri|last=Mounia|website=www.aps.dz|access-date=30 June 2020}}
In the June 2021 elections, despite receiving fewer votes than in previous elections, the party made significant gains in its representation, going from 14 seats in the 462-seat parliament to 48 seats in the new 407-seat parliament, making it the 4th largest party in the Algerian People's National Assembly.{{cite web |url=https://www.joradp.dz/FTP/jo-francais/2021/F2021051.pdf |title=Journal Officiel de la Republique Algerienne № 51 |publisher=Secretariat General du Gouvernement |date=29 June 2021 |access-date=22 September 2021 |language=fr}}
