Tunisia: President Saied urged to resign after ‘fiasco’ election

The National Salvation Front head, Nejib Chebbi, said Saturday’s poll was a fiasco, calling for mass protests to demand snap presidential elections.

The vote was boycotted by most opposition parties.

They accuse Saied of reversing the democratic progress made since the 2011 uprising, a charge he denies.

After sacking the prime minister and suspending parliament in July 2021, a year later SAIED pushed through a constitution enshrining his one-man rule after a vote that was also boycotted by the main opposition parties.
