How to interest young people in the electoral campaign for the Tunisian presidential election? In early September, young people launched the platform "Chnowa barnemjek? ("What is your program?") To popularize the programs of the candidates to the general public.

" What is your program? Is a didactic tool that compares the projects of each presidential candidate . This platform, which relies on social networks, is primarily aimed at young people , as explained by Mohamed Ghediram, a doctor full of enthusiasm of 25 years. " Today, most citizens and especially young people are totally lost , do not know who to vote for. So the idea really came from young people. It is really a lobbying work with the political class to show them what are the priorities of the Tunisian youth. Today, we need economy, health, education, mobility. "

This site is animated by students and executives. All are apolitical and volunteer. It is not easy for these young people to gather all the useful information about the candidates. " We currently have 13 out of 26 candidates, we did not get everyone back. There are candidates who have been good at playing the game, and others are still waiting for their answer, "says 23-year-old Sarra.

An emptiness probably linked to a campaign that came at the last minute. The death of the president in July took almost all political parties by surprise.

" Go on the streets of Tunis : there are 26 candidates who each have a square in which they can put their picture and their program. For almost all, they are empty, these boxes, "says Hamidi Redissi, professor of political science.

Campaigning across the country, candidates still have two days to convince undecided voters .
