A new Tunisian constitution was approved by 96.4 percent of participants in a referendum, the head of the ISIE electoral commission said Tuesday, citing preliminary results.
Just over 2.6 million out of the country’s 9.3 million voters backed the new draft, ISIE chief Farouk Bouasker told journalists in Tunis.
The new charter will enshrine sweeping powers in the office of President Kais Saied.
