Tunisia, Democratically Elected Second Presidential Election
Kaisai Saied said he will be a retired Tunisian president.
Polls show that the 61-year-old Justice Minister has won 76 percent of the vote. Official results were not disclosed.
He campaigned in prison after being arrested for money laundering and tax fraud against a 56-year-old media tycoon, Nabil Karoui.
He dismissed the charges and warned that officials could appeal, claiming that fair campaigns were not allowed.
Just four days before being released by court order, Governor Karui took second place in the first round of voting, with 15.6 percent voting with 18.4 percent of Side Governor.

Mosique FM, a privately owned radio station in Tunisia, said that the member states of Adel Brinsi, the country's independent election bureau, "over 50{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5}."
Who is Kais Saied and what is his policy?
The nickname "robot," Saied ran an advertising campaign with almost no advertising on the message of integrity and anti-corruption aimed at young Tunisian voters.
Saied was on a committee of experts that helped the Congress adopted in 2014 to help draft the Tunisia's late Arabian constitution. He sometimes appeared on television as a political commentator.
The week before the poll, he announced that he would not campaign while his rival was in prison.

Kais Saied said he would not have the title of First Lady if his wife became president.
He promised election reform, including a change in local elections for local representatives.
But critics attacked his conservative social views.
In an interview with a local newspaper, he condemned the foreign power to promote homosexuality.
He has supported a suspended death restoration in Tunisia since 1994.
If he wins the presidency, his wife will not be the first woman in the country, he said. He opposes the equal inheritance of men and women.
What is the importance of polling?
The election took place after the death of Tunisia's first democratically elected president, Beji Caid Essebsi, in July.
He sang Arab Spring with the overthrow of centipede Al-Avidin Ben Ali, who took office in 2014 three years after the popular uprising.
Correspondents say that the Arab spring gave Tunisian democracy eight years ago, but many believe it has brought little foreign.
And in a poll, diplomat Djordje Todorovic was concerned that Tunisia would "have no strong or stable government after this election."
