| Description | Tunisia's electoral commission has approved 26 candidates, including two women, to run in next month's presidential election, out of a total of 97 hopefuls seeking to contest the country's top office.
In its announcement on Wednesday, the body said the 71 rejected presidential candidates could lodge appeals, with the final list set to be published by the end of August.
"Seventy-one nomination papers were rejected, including 51 on the grounds of lack of sponsorships and deposit guarantees and 14 for the lack of endorsements," Nabil Baffoun, president of the commission, told a press conference.
