Tunisia Elections: President Kais Saied Faces Massive Protests Ahead of October Vote | Firstpost Africa

Hundreds of Tunisians protested over the weekend against President Kais Saied, accusing him of stifling political competition ahead of scheduled presidential elections on October 8. Protesters marched along Tunis' main avenue, which became a global landmark of democracy during 2011 Arab Spring Revolution. The protest came after lawmakers proposed a bill to strip the administrative court of its authority to adjudicate electoral disputes, a move that the opposition says would discredit the October 6 election, and pave the way for Saied to secure a second term.
