Tunisia electoral authority announces 3 presidential candidates, dismisses others

W460

Tunisia's electoral authority on Monday announced it had approved three presidential candidates for the October 6 election, dismissing three other would-be candidates despite court rulings allowing them to run.

"The administrative court did not officially communicate its decisions (to the election authority) within the deadline," leading to the three candidates whose appeals were granted to be definitively dismissed, the board said Monday.
