Sharjah 24 – AFP: A Tunisian court said it overturned the rejection of a former minister's presidential candidacy on Thursday, allowing him to stand in the October 6 election.
Mondher Zenaidi, 73, an opponent of President Kais Saied, was among 14 candidates the High Independent Authority for Elections, or ISIE, barred from running due to insufficient ballot signatures.
"The administrative court decided on Thursday to accept in form and substance the appeal filed by Mondher Zenaidi and to overturn the decision of the ISIE," court spokesman Faycel Bouguerra told AFP.
The electoral authority has yet to confirm whether Zenaidi will stand in the election. It is set to announce a final list of candidates next week.
