Tunisians went to the polls on Sunday to participate in the country's third presidential election since the Arab Spring uprising. The election features three candidates vying for the presidency: incumbent President Kais Saied, imprisoned businessman Ayachi Zammel, and leftist Zouhair Maghzaoui.
President Saied, at 66 years old, is seen as the frontrunner in the race, largely due to his crackdown on opponents and efforts to consolidate executive power by removing checks and balances. However, the election has faced criticism from the opposition, with many boycotting the contest citing concerns over the lack of democratic conditions for a fair election.
