Tunisian President Saied announces re-election bid
TUNIS: Tunisian President Kais Saied said on Friday he will run for another presidential term in Oct. 6 elections. The candidacy aims “to continue the national liberation struggle,” Saied said in a video on the presidency’s Facebook page. Opposition parties, many of whose leaders are in prison, have accused Saied’s government of exerting pressure on the judiciary to crack down on his rivals in the 2024 elections and pave the way for him to win a second term.
