Tunisia's President Re-Elected - Again

The current president of Tunisia has been re-elected for his fifth term. Ben Ali has already served 23 years as President, with normal terms lasting 5 years. With about 84% voter turnout, Ben Ali secured almost 90% of the votes - less than in 2004 when he received 95%, but impressive nonetheless. The African Union representative called the voting fair, but others once again cried foul play.
