General Ahmed Gaid Salah says it is 'imperative' to find a solution after President Bouteflika's 20-year reign sparks protests.

President Bouteflika suffered a stroke in April 2013, which left him in a wheelchair. The leader has often flown to Switzerland for treatment and now appears very rarely in public.Article 102 also allows for the extension of parliamentary terms of office in exceptional circumstances.

Hasni Abidi, a Swiss-based Algerian who heads a think tank, said:"This is a default solution following the failure of the negotiations of the departure of the president. It moves away from the democratic transition and approaches a framed succession."Last month, Mr Bouteflika said he would run for a fifth term in office, triggering protests that brought hundreds of thousands of people to the streets.

Algeria's ruling coalition party has called for his resignation too, with the RND party's secretary general Ahmed Ouyahia saying it"recommends" Mr Bouteflika's resignation to facilitate the transition of power.
