Summary/Abstract: Since always, electoral promises – subject of political market – make their campaign and elect their candidates. Promises are the one upmanship between rivals and contenders for the government of public affairs. But they are also qualified, particularly by experts and opponents, as illusory and not feasible once the candidate is elected. In this paper we focus on the 2019 electoral campaign in Algeria in order to demonstrate, through three examples of promises announced by the elected president, that promises are ambiguous and can be perceived differently depending on whether one is candidate or voter, interpretations that certainly have implications for decision making and then for public policy.
