Tunisians vote for new chamber with little enthusiasm

Tunisians vote in Tunisian elections for a new second chamber of parliament. President Kais Saied's opponents argue the election is part of his "authoritarian" agenda. Saied seized executive powers, dissolving parliament and ruling by decree. The feeble turnout was expected, with polling stations remaining empty. More than 260 Tunisian figures signed a petition against the "useless" election, alleging it aims to weaken local power and make it a docile instrument for the executive power. Authorities have jailed over 20 opposition members since February.
