The incumbent in the lead with 89.2 percent of votes with voter turnout in Sunday’s election at 28 percent.
Tunisian President Kais Saied is on course to win the presidential election with 89.2 percent of the vote, according to an exit poll aired on state TV, solidifying Saied’s rule after a power grab three years ago.
The Independent High Authority for Elections of Tunisia (ISIE) will announce the official results of the election on Monday evening.
Saied, 66, was running against two rivals, including his former ally turned critic Chaab Party leader Zouhair Maghzaoui, and Ayachi Zammel, a businessman who was seen as posing a big threat to Saied’s re-election until he was jailed last month.
According to the exit poll, Maghzaoui, 59, got 3.9 percent of the vote and 47-year-old Zammel, 6.9 percent.
