Tunisian Court Upholds Appeals, Allows Candidates to Rejoin Presidential Race

The Tunisian Administrative Court has allowed two prominent candidates, Mondher Zenaidi and Abdellatif Mekki, to reenter the presidential race scheduled for October 6. This decision follows the electoral commission initially rejecting their candidacies. The court's rulings are final and cannot be appealed.

In a significant development, the Tunisian Administrative Court upheld an appeal by prominent candidate Mondher Zenaidi, permitting his return to the presidential race slated for October 6, a judicial official confirmed to Reuters.

This marks the second such ruling within the week, as the court also reinstated Abdellatif Mekki's candidacy on Tuesday after the electoral commission had initially rejected his filing.

Judicial official Faycel Bouguera disclosed to Reuters that Thursday's court decision is final and immune to any further appeals.
