Robocop v Corleone: disgruntled Tunisians vote in presidential runoff

Exit poll points to victory for low-profile law professor Kais Saied over fellow outsider Nabil Karoui

Tunisians are voting on Sunday in a runoff presidential election between a low-profile law professor and a charismatic media magnate who was released from prison earlier this week.

The Maghreb country, often held up as the lone success story of the Arab spring, appears set to successfully carry out its second-ever presidential elections, with an earlier round of voting winnowing the field from 26 candidates to the two self-styled outsiders, the lawyer Kais Saied and the businessman Nabil Karoui.
