Tunisia president registers official election candidacy

Tunisian President Kais Saied has submitted his official candidacy for the country's upcoming presidential election on October 6, according to AFP.
Saied, 66, told reporters in the capital Tunis that his candidacy was part
of "a liberation and self-determination war" set to "establish a new republic".
Experts say Saied's challengers face significant constraints in their bid
to run for office, while several would-be hopefuls are either in prison or
being prosecuted.
