The Administrative Court in Tunisia has accepted the appeal of presidential candidate Abdul Latif Al-Makki, allowing him to return to the election race. This decision has been welcomed by opposition and human rights groups as a sign of judicial independence amid concerns over the ruling authority's influence. Al-Makki's candidacy is seen as a significant challenge to current President Kais Saied, who is seeking re-election. The upcoming presidential elections are set for October 6, 2024.
