Preliminary results showed President Kais Saied won a second term in the Tunisian election with 90.69% of the vote, the electoral commission said on Monday.

The turnout was 28.8% in Sunday's vote in which Saied faced two election rivals: his former ally turned critic, Chaab Party leader Zouhair Maghzaoui; and Ayachi Zammel, who was jailed last month.
