Tunisia's Islamist party urges referendum boycott
Critics assert that President Saied is attempting to restore one-man rule to the nation after he ousted the administration and dissolved parliament in July of last year
Ennahda, a significant Islamist-inspired party in Tunisia, is urging its supporters to abstain from a referendum on President Kais Saied's proposed new constitution scheduled for later this month.
Imed Khemeri, a party spokesman, claimed that the vote was "not in the interests of Tunisians" while speaking at a press conference in the nation's capital, Tunis.
Critics assert that President Saied is attempting to restore one-man rule to the nation after he ousted the administration and dissolved parliament in July of last year.
He refutes the charge.
A boycott of the vote on July 25 has also been called for by several other Tunisian parties.
