Tunisia election body ignores court in presidential vote

Tunisia's electoral board said Monday it approved three candidates for an October 6 presidential election, ignoring court rulings that had granted appeals by three other hopefuls who had been rejected.
   However the three dismissed candidates were among 14 potential contenders to be
turned down by the electoral board, ISIE, last month for not obtaining enough
endorsements to challenge President Kais Saied.
   According to reporting last week by AFP, the three hopefuls unexpectedly won appeals at the administrative court against ISIE's decision, in a verdict the court called “definitive".
