Tunisia is set to conduct a presidential election on October 6, as confirmed by President Kais Saied’s office on Tuesday. It remains uncertain whether Saied will run for a new five-year term following his initial election in 2019.
Saied, an expert in constitutional matters, assumed complete authority over the nation in 2021, governing through decrees after removing the prime minister and parliament.
A statement from Saied’s office on July 2, 2024, announced the summoning of voters for the upcoming presidential election scheduled for Sunday, October 6, 2024.
