Tunisian president’s re-election bid amid disqualified or jailed candidates
Tunisians are set to vote in a presidential election, but the field of candidates has been dramatically reduced. Most opposition figures have been jailed or disqualified, making President Kais Saied’s re-election bid almost a certainty. Since coming to power in 2019 on a platform of anti-corruption, Saied has suspended parliament and granted himself extensive powers.
