TUNIS (Reuters) - Two political outsiders said they believed they had advanced to the second round of Tunisia's presidential election on Sunday, citing exit polls, though no official results have been announced.

A representative for detained media magnate Nabil Karoui said he had scored "an impressive win", while conservative law professor Kais Saied, who was largely unknown before the election, said his performance marked "a new revolution".
