  Bouteflika's deadliest electoral rival is Ahmed Taleb Ibrahimi, former Foreign Affairs Minister and leader of an Islamist party, Wafa, that failed to gain accreditation in 2000 despite fulfilling all legal requirements.There was a feeling that that the military establishment and effective power-brokers had started to view Ibrahimi as a possible electoral card to play.
  
  El Khabar asserted that Interior Minister Zerhouni had been in talks with Wafa officials over reactivating the party's application for legal recognition.Echourouk believed it was much ado about nothing and that media interest in Ibrahimi was aimed at discrediting him by portraying him as an establishment man.
  
  Hmida Layachi, editor in chief of El Youm, argued that the military was unhappy that Bouteflika had sought to get the better of rivals in domestic power struggles by playing to foreign (Western) audiences.He added that that military, still the de facto rulers, were ready to prevent Bouteflika winning a second term but that they could agree to free and fair elections if the president became a constitutional figurehead and the bulk of the powers currently concentrated in the presidency were transferred to the prime minister.
