Bouteflika, who has been in power for 15 years, suffered a mini-stroke last year that confined him to a Paris hospital for three months, and it had been unclear whether his health would prevent him from standing again. A screen caption said the presidency had confirmed that Bouteflika had informed the interior ministry of his intention to run in the April 17 poll and to collect the appropriate documents for signature. The television channel had previously said Bouteflika would pick up the documents on Sunday, adding he might send someone else to collect them in his place.
