The big day is finally coming on Sunday October 23rd.
From The Guardian:
With just five days to go, meanwhile, all the parties are "pulling out all the stops and trying to win the final sprint," writes Le Temps. Ahmed Néjib Chebbi, head of the Parti Démocrate Progressiste (PDP), is quoted as saying he is "completely convinced" of his party's victory. Hamma Hammami, leader of the Parti Communiste des Ouvriers de Tunisie (PCOT), warns of "retrograde forces" using the elections to hijack the revolution. Meanwhile Ennadah, the Islamist party expected to win the most seats on Sunday, continues to woo the voters.
