BBC World Service - Weekend, Low turnout in Tunisian elections

Tunisian elections branded ‘fiasco’ by opposition

Two of Tunisia's biggest opposition parties have said President Kais Saied has lost all legitimacy after turnout for elections to a new national assembly was less than nine percent. 

Also in the programme: schools in Shanghai move online; and South Africa’s ANC holds leadership contest. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Kadri Liik, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations; and Alec Russell, Editor of the Financial Times Weekend.
