Tunisia President, Kais Saied, has submitted documents Monday to compete in the October presidential election.

The President is expected to face little competition as potential challengers have been jailed by the country’s court.

Saied submitted 242,224 signatures from registered voters to qualify for inclusion on the Oct. 6 ballot in the North African nation.

Four other candidates have gathered signatures to run including Abir Moussi, a right-wing critic of the president who has been behind bars since she staged a protest outside his residence last year. Her attorneys said they filed her paperwork on Sunday.
