The election is being seen as a closing chapter in Tunisia's experiment with democracy, with observers lamenting Saied's dismantling of democratic institutions and rule.
Tunisia was once hailed as a beacon of democracy in the Arab world, but observers suggest that many of its democratic gains have been reversed under Saied's rule.
Saied has removed institutional checks on his power, effectively neutralizing major political opposition by imprisoning critics and altering foundational governance structures.
The absence of campaign rallies and public debates indicates a troubling political atmosphere, as nearly all candidates are either imprisoned or lack significant public support.
