The position of Chief of Staff at the Algerian Presidency has evolved into a strategic pillar of the state since 1962. Originally focused on building administrative structures in the post-independence era, the function transformed significantly over the decades. By the 1980s, under figures like General Larbi Belkheir, the office became a key coordinating hub for the government. During the 1990s, the role shifted toward technical and discreet management of institutional affairs. Later, under President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the position served as a political platform for high-level officials to oversee executive policies. Under President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, the structure of El-Mouradia has been reorganized to prioritize sectoral expertise and professional civil servants. Following the tenure of officials like Noureddine Baghdad Daidj, Abdelaziz Khellaf, and the late magistrate Boualem Boualem, the recent appointment of diplomat Lounès Magramane underscores the current trend of placing experienced high-ranking officials at the heart of the presidential administration.
