The ruling party in Algeria, the FLN, has supported calls to declare the president in difficulty, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, unfit to govern.
The FLN's intervention – which should be decisive – comes a day after the army chief, General Ahmed Gaed Salah, said that a constitutional rule should be invoked to dismiss the president.
The protests against Bouteflika began last month after he announced his intention to run for another term.
Under pressure, Mr. Bouteflika then agreed to withdraw after the adoption of constitutional reforms.
But people continued to protest, saying the move was a ploy by the president to stay in power.
