TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisia's parliament was set to vote on a major amendment to the electoral law on Friday, nine days before a presidential election that opposition groups fear will cement President Kais Saied's authoritarian rule.
The bill strips the Administrative Court of its authority to adjudicate electoral disputes. It is likely to pass in an assembly elected in 2022 on an 11% turnout after Saied dissolved the previous one and prompted an opposition boycott.
