After three months of suspense and following two days of consultations, the Ennahdha Movement’s Shura Council decided that the movement will not present a candidate from its ranks for the upcoming presidential election in November. Ennahdha, however, would “support the candidacy of a consensual, national personality that would serve the goals of the revolution, preserve the democratic experience, and contribute to its success”. Ziyad Al Adhari, Ennahdha’s spokesman, said that Ennahdha’s decision as to whom it would support would be known once all aspiring candidates have submitted their candidacy files and an official list had been announced. Now that Ennahdha has revealed some of its cards, it is expected that Beji Caid Sebsi would officially submit his candidacy on Tuesday.
