Algerian Prime Minister Abdelaziz Djerad resigned on Thursday, opening the door for President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to name a new cabinet.
A new government will have to tackle a deep financial and economic crisis due to a fall in oil prices.
Djerad's resignation follows a parliamentary election on June 12 that was marked by a low turnout and no majority winner after two years of mass protests and political turmoil.
The Hirak protest movement is demanding an uprooting of the entire system.
