Almost 10 million Tunisians were eligible to vote on Sunday, but with the calls for a boycott, voter turnout remains to be seen.
Tunisians headed to the polls to cast their ballots in the country’s presidential election. As reported by www.trendsnafrica.com time and again, President Kais Saied looks set to win with no formidable opposition.
That has become easier, with most of his challengers being in prison or barred from running. Political analysts say it is a move by Saied to manipulate the outcome of the election. In light of the commission’s decision, the opposition called for a boycott of the vote.
Only two other candidates were given the go-ahead by the electoral commission to run against Saied, who did not have a say in the political developments. This has left the Tunisians in a dilemma doubting the genuineness of the elections. Yet, there is a formidable section of citizens who support Saied, maintaining that he only can lead the country to the golden path.
