Tunisia's opposition to boycott December legislative polls
Tunisia's main opposition alliance, The National Salvation Front, said Wednesday its members including the once-powerful Ennahdha party will boycott the December 17 polls to replace a parliament dissolved by President Kais Saied.
On Wednesday, the head of the National Salvation Front alliance said the boycott was a response to Kais Saied’s politics. The leader suspended parliament nearly a year and a half ago and later pushed through a revised Constitution.
"The National Salvation Front has decided to boycott the upcoming legislative elections for several reasons. First, it's an anti-constitutional process, Ahmed Néjib Chebbi, the head of the alliance explained. Mr. Kais Saied has absolutely no right to overthrow the institutional regime that was in place and to move towards the development of a constitution and the establishment of another system."
