Parliamentary elections were held in Algeria on June 5, 1997.
They were dominated by the National Democratic Rally (RND), a new party created in early 1997 for Zeroual's supporters, which received some 32% of the vote and got 156 out of 380 seats. They were followed by the MSP (as Hamas had been required to rename itself) with 69 seats, the FLN (62), and the Islamist Ennahda (34). The two Berberist parties, FFS and RCD, got 20 and 19 seats respectively. Views on this election were mixed; most major opposition parties filed complaints, and the success of the extremely new RND raised eyebrows. The RND, FLN, and MSP formed a coalition government, with the RND's Ahmed Ouyahia as prime minister.
