It's no surprise that the death of President Beiji Caid Essebsi, which triggered an early presidential election, is causing a major shakeup in Tunisian democracy.
Following the president’s funeral, his son, Nidaa Tounes leader Hafedh Essebsi, said of his father’s decision not to sign the reformed electoral law, “It was not easy for him to not sign it,” and “It was a service to his people.”
