🔁Mario Nawfal:
🇹🇳TUNISIA GOES TO THE POLLS
Today, President Kais Saied, seen by his critics as an autocrat, is running for re-election in a vote he is almost sure to win.
Over a dozen politicians had hoped to challenge him, but the electoral commission approved only two additional names for the ballot paper.
One of those, Ayachi Zammel, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for falsifying documents just 5 days before the election.
In recent weeks, people have taken to the streets of the capital, Tunis, to protest against Saied and demand free and fair elections.
