Abderrahim was elected by Tunis’ municipal council, garnering 26 votes while her closest opponent received 22 votes. She ran as an independent but was backed by the Islamist Ennahda party, a moderate Muslim party that advocates for separating religion and politics.


“We have chosen transparency as a slogan,” Abderrahim said.


Abderrahim was elected to the Constituent Assembly of Tunisia in 2011 after the Arab Spring movement. She served on the Assembly until 2014 after which she served on the Ennahda party’s policy-making committee.


People on Twitter congratulated Abderrahim and celebrated the historic moment.


“First women in history to be ELECTED mayor of an Arab Capital, and that changes everything, especially the power of such a success,” activist Amira Yahyaoui tweeted.


Twitter user Mohamed Ali Azaiez also congratulated Abderrahim, writing: “A historic day for Tunisia ― the first Arab country to enshrine women’s rights into law ― especially for Tunisian women. A new era for our democracy and huge challenges to serve our nation. Congratulations to Souad Abderrahim and to all Tunisians!”

God knows what happened there, her victory isn't valid if she drugged and seduced the other corrupt politicians or mass drugged the water supply so she gets a chance.
And she doesn't appear to be the type who would get it without drugs.

Oh yes, the kuffar are fluoridating our water supply. Better not drink any water or consume anything containing water.

My children and i were recently fed poisoned mangos and our kidneys and hearts were squeezing with a piercing feeling and our brains were overheating and fizzing to near boiling sensation so please do not expect sarcasm to work on serious issues - no sympathy will be shown when Allah :swt: besides whom there is no God pours destructive and poisonous chemical rain upon the lands of the unjust.
