In a significant development aimed at resolving years of political strife, a newly formed committee consisting of representatives from the House of Representatives and the High Council of State has agreed on an initial election pact in Tunisia. The agreement outlines electoral laws and restructuring plans for the national elections commission, marking a transition towards a complex implementation phase. However, the deal faces challenges due to divided state institutions and legal voids, as well as reservations from key legislative bodies and politicians about its legitimacy and transparency. Legal expert Al-Mahdi Kashbour highlighted the apparent discrepancy between the powers of the parties who signed the agreement and the institutions authorized to implement it. The lack of concrete election plans in the pact, combined with uncertainty over the interim government, poses a significant challenge to the peace process. Critics, including Nuh al-Malati from the High Council of State and Khalifa al-Daghari from the House of Representatives, have raised concerns about the negotiation's secrecy and the lack of their involvement in selecting the negotiating team members. Despite these criticisms, United Nations spokesman Mohammad al-Asadi maintains that the pact is an essential step towards concluding negotiations on all points under discussion and plans to make the document publicly available following the final signing.
