The Algerian Movement for Justice and Development (Template:Lang-fr, MAJD) was a political party in Algeria.

History

The party was founded on 5 November 1990 by former Prime Minister Kasdi Merbah after he left the National Liberation Front (FLN) in October.[1] Led by Merbah, it was effectively a vehicle for his political ambitions;[1] although he had become isolated within the FLN, the policies of MAJD were little different, and its membership consisted largely of his friends and former FLN and Sécurité Militaire associates.[1]

In the 1991 parliamentary elections the party received only 0.4% of the vote and failed to win a seat, although the results were later annulled. Merbah was later assassinated on 21 August 1993.[1]
