Tunisia to vote on 'new republic' on July 25

Tunisia’s President Kais Saied has announced on Thursday that Tunisia will hold a constitutional referendum for a "new republic" on July 25, in defiance of critics who warn he wants to establish an autocracy.

The vote will take place exactly a year after Saied sacked the government and suspended parliament, moves his rivals dubbed a coup, but which he claims were required to break the crippling political deadlock.

Since then, Saied has organized a widely boycotted public consultation on a new constitution.

He has also appointed a body to suggest how the results from the consultation may be fed into the replacement for the constitution adopted after Tunisia's 2011 revolution, the Arab Spring's birthplace.
