Young people present at the protest said that they would not be voting in the election. However, Saied does have supporters, who see him as different from career politicians and willing to do the work necessary to free Tunisia from foreign influence.
The day after Tunisia’s third election since the Arab Spring, business went on as usual and there were no signs that an election had taken place. Campaigning and debates were almost absent in the lead-up to Sunday’s vote. In the downtown Ariana neighborhood of Greater Tunis, young men spent their day at outdoor cafes.
Turnout in this year’s election was less than 30%, according to numbers released by Tunisia’s election authority. Hundreds marched in central Tunis on Friday to protest Saied’s rule, accusing him of being a dictator.
