Tunisia president states he will seek new term in October elections

Tunisian President Kais Saied, in power since 2019, announced on Friday that he will seek a new five-year term in an election set for October.

"I officially announce my candidacy for the October 6 presidential election in order to keep up the fight in the battle for national liberation," Saied, who has ruled by decree since suspending parliament in July 2021, said in a video released by his office.
