Tunisian court orders electoral commission to reinstate presidential candidates

TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisia's highest court on Saturday ordered the electoral commission to reinstate two candidates for a presidential poll in October, warning that failure to do so could jeopardise the legitimacy of the election.

The move by the Administrative Court comes amid growing political tension in the North African country and fears from the opposition and civil society groups about a rigged election that would lead to President Kais Saied winning a second term.
