Tunisia polls open as Kais Saied set for re-election
Tunisia's presidential election on October 6, 2023, is expected to see incumbent Kais Saied win amid a lack of opposition, as many critics are imprisoned. The election reflects a decline in democratic practices following Saied's power consolidation and the jailing of dissenters.

Voter apathy is high due to economic struggles and limited alternatives, with only a few candidates allowed to run. Protests against Saied's regime highlight public discontent, while Saied continues to call for voter turnout amidst allegations of manipulation and authoritarianism.
