Fatshimetrie, the essential news magazine, takes you behind the scenes of the 2024 presidential election in Tunisia. The boiling political atmosphere, the promises of the candidates, and the passionate reactions of the citizens marked this historic election.
The outgoing president, Kaïs Saïed, aroused the enthusiasm of his supporters by obtaining more than 89% of the votes in the first round, according to a survey by the Sigma institute. This overwhelming victory confirms the massive support he enjoys, despite a tumultuous first term marked by economic and political crises.
Kaïs Saïed’s supporters see him as a bulwark against the old political elite and a guarantor of the new Tunisia that they aspire to build. His image as a man of integrity and his speech of breaking with the past have seduced a significant part of the population, who see in him the hope of a profound change.
However, this presumed victory is not without arousing reactions of mistrust. Other candidates, including Zouhaïr Maghzaoui, question the reliability of the polls and call for vigilance to protect the integrity of the electoral process. The low turnout, at only 27.7%, highlights the challenges and divisions within Tunisian society.
Despite the controversies and tensions, the 2024 presidential election in Tunisia marks a turning point in the country’s political history. The challenges are numerous, the expectations are high, but one thing is certain: the Tunisian people have expressed their choice, and the future president will have to respond to their aspirations and meet the challenges that lie ahead.
