💨 Abstract

Tunisians protested against President Kais Saied, accusing him of deepening authoritarian rule and stifling political competition ahead of a presidential election. The protests follow lawmakers' proposal to strip the administrative court of its authority to adjudicate electoral disputes and Saied's disqualification of three prominent presidential candidates. Critics claim Saied is using the electoral commission and judiciary to secure victory by stifling competition and intimidating candidates.
