President Kais Saied has been re-elected for a second term in Tunisia's recent election, garnering an overwhelming 90.69% of the votes, according to preliminary outcomes shared by the electoral commission.
Despite Saied's sweeping victory, the election's turnout was a mere 28.8%, reflecting low public engagement in the political process.
Saied faced two opponents, including Zouhair Maghzaoui, leader of the Chaab Party and a former ally turned critic, as well as Ayachi Zammel, who was imprisoned last month.
