Significance
Jockeying ahead of the elections has stalled decision-making on critical economic policies. While the political class is mired in internal debate, citizens are growing increasingly angry at politicians they hold responsible for deteriorating economic conditions.
Impacts
Political infighting will further alienate Tunisians leading to low voter turnout.
Labour unions will attempt to influence political outcomes by organising (or threatening to call) strikes.
Nidaa Tounes and leftist parties may stoke identity and security issues to attack their opponents and mobilise voters.
