Abdelfattah Moore, candidate for the candidate from the Islamist movement An-Nahd, does not trust the published poll data, according to which their representative does not get into the second round of voting.
„Only the highest independent election commission is empowered to announce the preliminary results of the presidential election,“ said head of staff Samir Dilu, quoted by Shams FM.
He said that the movement has its own data on the voting results, which differ from the exit poll data.
According to an exit poll conducted by Sigma Group, independent candidate Kais Said and imprisoned media mogul Nabil Karoui enter the second round of the presidential election in Tunisia. They scored 19.5% and 15.5%, respectively.

At the same time, Islamist Abdelfattah Muru, with 11%, is only on the third line, Defense Minister Abdel Karim al-Zbeidi receives 9.4%, and Prime Minister Youssef al-Shahed only 7.5% of the vote.
The first round of elections took place on Sunday. The Central Election Commission promises to announce preliminary results on September 17. According to him, turnout was 45% in Tunisia and 19.7% abroad. Just over 7 million people have the right to vote.
The election was attended by 24 candidates. The second round of elections, if necessary, will be held until October 13.
An early presidential election in Tunisia was called after the death on July 25 of the 92-year-old Al-Badzhi Gayid al-Sebsi, who led the country for the past five years. Initially, the vote was scheduled for November 17.
