The preliminary results published by the electoral commission reveal a landslide victory for incumbent Kais Saied with 90.7% of the vote, amidst a stark 28.8% voter turnout.
Despite winning, Kais Saied's victory highlights deep divisions within Tunisia, as noted by the low turnout and the accusations of rigging and repression swirling around the elections.
Saied's promises following his victory signal a continuation of his controversial mandate, vowing to cleanse the country of 'corrupt, traitors and conspirators,' despite widespread dissent.
Authorities have been accused of manipulating the electoral process to favor Saied, including excluding rivals and altering judicial oversight just before the elections, raising concerns over democratic principles.
