On October 6, Tunisians will head to the polls for the first round of a presidential election that opposition critics say is rigged in favour of President Kais Saied and could sound the death knell for Tunisia’s democracy.
Just two candidates have been approved to run against the incumbent in Sunday’s poll: left-wing nationalist Zouhair Magzhaoui, who is widely regarded as a paper candidate supportive of Saied, and the jailed leader of the liberal Azimoun party, Ayachi Zammel.
