Campaigning Begins… People Prepare to Complete Building of Tunisia’s Institutions and Defeat the Brotherhood
The electoral campaign kicked off in Tunisia yesterday, and will last for three weeks before heading to the ballot boxes on December 17, amid ongoing Muslim Brotherhood movements to disrupt the elections, which is considered the final blow to the terrorist movement, and announcing the end of the era of control of the terrorist organization in the reins of power in Tunisia.
Last Step
According to official statistics announced by the Independent High Commission for Elections, 1,052 candidates will compete in 151 constituencies inside Tunisia, distributed over 24 states and only 3 candidates abroad, and seven constituencies remained outside without candidates. It was reported that the elections of December 17, which coincides with the 12th anniversary of the outbreak of the Tunisian revolution, are the last step in the “road map” which the Tunisian President launched last year, to come out of what he describes as an “exceptional phase”, in response to protests that spread throughout the country, at that time called for the closure of the parliament, and holding accountable the political class that ruled the country, during what they consider as a “black decade”, and participating in the elections are those involved in the initiative “Victory of the People” initiative, including figures of the Popular Movement, People’s Nationalist Movement, July 25th Movement, Tunisia Forward movement, as well as independents.
Malicious attempts
Dr. Oussama Aouidet, a leader in the Tunisian People’s Movement and a political analyst, said the will of the Tunisian people will prevail over any malicious attempts that seek to destroy the country and disrupt the Tunisian elections scheduled for December 17th.
The Tunisian political analyst added: The majority of Tunisians are fully aware that Ennahdha Movement, which has been in power since 2011, and its responsibility for the entry of terrorism into Tunisia, and the further impoverishment of the people, and the aggravation of the economic and social conditions, and demand to be held accountable for the past years of the government, as any attempts and plans by that terrorist movement will not affect the course of the elections in Tunisia.
Hinged step
Monzer Qafrash, head of the Front for the Salvation of Tunisia, said the upcoming legislative elections are a pivotal step in the country’s history to complete building institutions after the difficult period of the Brotherhood, which saw institutions infiltrated.
He added that the indications of participation in the elections are positive, pointing out that the Tunisian people are at a historical stage to build institutions on the path to a just and comprehensive development and will defeat any terrorist attempts and schemes that want to tamper with the country and its resources.
