Exit polls: Independent academic wins Tunisia's presidential vote

Tunis - as the North African country grapples with economic and security challenges, according to a polling agency.

Saied has secured 72.53% of the vote against 27.47% for media mogul Nabil Karoui, the polling firm Emrhod Consulting added, citing exit polls. It has been less than a decade since Tunisia, the origin of the 2010-11 Arab Spring revolts, toppled its long-time autocratic government in favour of democratic elections.

Social unrest, militant attacks and an economic slowdown have afflicted the country on its fledgling democratic path. The unemployment rate is about 15%.
