Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika casts his ballot as he votes in the Parliamentary elections in Algiers, Thursday, May, 10, 2012. Parliamentary elections in Algeria are being billed as the fairest in 20 years, but as polls opened Thursday disgruntled Algerians appeared to be showing little interest and even outright scorn for the vote. There are 44 political parties competing for 462 seats across this vast oil-rich North African nation of 35 million people, Africa's largest by area. (AP Photo/Sidali Djarboub)
