history

In the 2002 parliamentary elections , the Mouvement de la Société de la Paix won 7% of the vote and sent 38 members to the National Assembly of Algeria . She has been part of the government coalition with the National Liberation Movement and the National Democratic Collection since 2005 .

In the 2007 parliamentary elections , Hamas received a total of 9.71% of the vote, winning 52 seats in parliament.

In May 2008, Bougerra Soltani was re-elected as party leader of the Mouvement de la Société de la Paix - in contrast to Abdelmadjid Menasra, who rejects Soltani's participation in the Presidential Alliance as a minister without a portfolio and blames him for the decline in voters.

Soltani’s policy of support for Bouteflika, especially with regard to seeking a third term for the president, resulted in the resignation of some members and the resignation of eight Hamas members of parliament. A new Islamist party split off on April 16, 2009 under the name “Movement for Preaching and Change”.
