Tunisia hosted the first true presidential debate in the Arab world, yet the front-runner was nowhere to be seen
first true presidential debate in the Arab world, yet the front-runner was nowhere to be seen. Nabil Karoui was not entirely to blame for his absence from the stage, though. The businessman and media mogul is campaigning to be president of Tunisia from jail.
Such frustrations have drawn eclectic candidates into the race. There are no recent polls , but earlier surveys offered encouragement to outsiders such as Mr Karoui, who promises a “war on poverty” with new infrastructure spending. He says little about how Tunisia will pay for this. The government is in the middle of anin 2016 to 3.9% this year.
