The office of newly elected National Assembly (lower house of parliament) of Algeria has been installed Sunday, local APS news agency reported.

In a plenary session chaired by Speaker of the Parliament, Mohamed-Larbi Ould Khelifa, MPs validated the status of nine vice speakers, of which eight are from the two parties in power, namely the National Liberation Front with five members, and the National Democratic Rally with three; in addition to a woman MP representing the independent parliamentary group.

MPs of the Alliance of Green Algeria, formed by three Islamist parties, have boycotted this session in accordance with a decision made earlier to protest against what they qualified as "rigged" the parliamentary election.

MPs of two leftist opposition parties, the Socialist Forces Front and the Workers Party, have attended the session, but haven' t participated in the voting process to install the parliament office.

The vice speakers are expected to install twelve permanent commissions of the parliament, the APS added.

The newly elected 462-seat parliament was inaugurated on May 26.
