(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) Tunisia announced that a mere 11% of the electorate had voted on
Sunday in parliamentary runoffs, with critics of President Kais
Saied saying the empty polling stations were evidence of public
disdain for his agenda and seizure of powers, trend reports citing reuters .
The head of the electoral commission, over which Saied assumed
ultimate authority last year, gave a provisional turnout of 11.3%
for Sunday's runoff votes.
During December's first round, the official turnout was only
slightly lower, at 11.2%.
'Today Tunisians issued a final verdict rejecting Kais Saied's
process and elections,' Nejib Chebbi, head of the main opposition
coalition, the Salvation Front, told a news conference.
