Tunisia entered a new stage of its democratic transition with the second round of presidential elections.

A closely watched poll and on, of course, especially as a polling station was targeted by an attack in the center of the country last night - one assailant was killed.

But also and especially historical moment: almost 4 years after the Jasmine Revolution, over 5 million Tunisians are called to choose their leader.

Participation in the first round had been close to 65%.

"We have rights and we need to exercise our civic duty, ensures a voter to a polling station. God willing Tunisia will be stable and our future will be good "

"We expect that Tunisia revives its dynamism adds a businessman, she finds the position it occupied for years, it returns to its geo-strategic position in the Mediterranean."

Restore its prestige in Tunisia, it is the goal of the favorite, Beji Caid Essebsi. Aged 88 years, the leader of the anti-Islamist party Nidaa Tounès held political office in Tunisia Bourguiba, then that of Ben Ali.

His opponent Moncef Marzouki, historical opponent to the old regime, sees him as the "return to the hegemony of a single party."

Islamists, with whom he had spent a political agreement in the interim government in recent years, have not given voting instructions.

In the first round Essebsi Marzouki was ahead by 6 points.
