Voting begins for the decisive run-off for Tunisia’s presidential election

Tunisian polling stations opened on Sunday in a run-off that will resolve presidential elections between media magnate Nabil Karoui and retired law professor Kais Said.
The first presidential round, in which 26 candidates competed, saw what was termed an “electoral earthquake” following a “vote of punishment” by voters against representatives of the ruling political class. Among the candidates were some of the country’s most powerful politicians.
Said received 18.4% of the vote in the first round, while the villager got 15.6%.
