Tunisia votes in parliamentary election

Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service

Tunisians are voting in a parliamentary election that has been boycotted by opposition parties. President Kais Saied dissolved the previous parliament last year when he assumed sweeping powers. We speak to the BBC's Bassam Bounenni in Tunis and Dr Lina Khatib of the Chatham House think-tank.
