TUNIS, Sept 27 (Reuters) – Tunisia’s parliament approved a law stripping the Administrative Court of its authority to adjudicate electoral disputes on Friday, nine days before the presidential election and fuelling opposition fears of a rigged result aimed at keeping President Kais Saied in power.
The Administrative Court is widely seen as the North African country’s last independent judicial body, after Saied dissolved the Supreme Judicial Council and dismissed dozens of judges in 2022.
Out of a total 161 lawmakers, 116 voted for the major amendment to the electoral law.
