Tunisia is holding its third presidential election since the Arab Spring, but the race is heavily skewed in favor of incumbent President Kais Saied. Many of Saied's main political opponents have been jailed or excluded from the ballot, raising concerns about the fairness of the election. Rights groups have criticized Saied for consolidating power and undermining democratic institutions. This election is seen as a critical moment for Tunisia's fragile democracy, which has struggled since the 2011 revolution that ousted a long-time dictator.
