TUNIS, Tunisia, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- The next president of Tunisia will likely be determined in a runoff election, according to exit polls that showed neither of the two leading candidates secured a majority in Sunday's vote.
Former Prime Minister Beji Caid Essebi, of the secular Nidaa Tounes party, appeared to be in the lead with between 42 and 47 percent of the vote. Dissident leader and interim President Moncef Marzouki seems to have garnered between 29 and 32 percent of the vote. Twenty-five other candidates drew 10 percent or less.
