Tunisia's President Kais Saied said on Tuesday that the first decision after the constitutional referendum would be to draft an election law, Al Jazeera TV reported.

Saied added that the law will change the format of the old elections wherein elected officials did not reflect the will of the voters.

Saied delivered these remarks after a referendum on a new constitution took place on Monday, which passed easily albeit with a low turnout.
