Retired General and candidate for the April presidential elections has lost the head of his campaign team, who accused the presidential hopeful of improvisation and ‘solo’ acting. Ghediri reportedly enjoys some support within the army as reports this month suggested the army detained several top ranking officers for endorsing the former army commander. Layachi also chided his former boss for speaking to certain media without the approval from his team. The former campaign chief believes the various improvisations and solo actions fly in the face of his professionalism and expertise. Ghediri in a counter post denied his comments on youth noting that his words were misunderstood.
