Ayachi Zammel, a candidate in Tunisia's presidential election, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison over voter endorsement fraud, raising concerns over election fairness.
His lawyer, Abdessater Massoudi, insisted that despite the three prison sentences in two weeks, Zammel remains a candidate, arguing that the rulings aim to weaken his electoral campaign.
Zammel was sentenced for fraudulent use of certification and falsification of signatures, critical for filing candidacy papers, highlighting the challenges candidates face under current electoral laws.
With mounting tensions and allegations of a rigged election, the opposing political landscape in Tunisia appears constrained, leaving only two serious challengers to President Kais Saied.
