TUNIS, (Reuters) – The Tunisian Administrative Court upheld on Thursday an appeal by prominent candidate Mondher Zenaidi, thereby allowing him to return to the presidential race expected on Oct. 6, a judicial official told Reuters, in the second such ruling this week.
The Administrative Court also returned Abdellatif Mekki to the race on Tuesday after the electoral commission had rejected his candidacy filing.
Judicial official Faycel Bouguera told Reuters that the court’s decision on Thursday was final and could not be appealed.
