Tunisia’s presidential candidates appear in TV debate

Tunisia’s 2 presidential candidates have gone head-to-head in a rare TV debate ahead of Sunday’s runoff vote.

Tunisia will vote for its next president on Sunday, October 13.

Voters are choosing between Nabil Karoui, who was recently released from prison, and retired law professor Kais Saied.

They need to convince voters they will be able to solve crippling poverty and the issue of unemployment.
