Tunisia's administrative court on Tuesday upheld an appeal by prominent politician Abdellatif Mekki, allowing him to resume his candidacy in a presidential election expected on October 6, Reuters reported, citing judicial and political sources.

The electoral commission had excluded Mekki from the race due to what it said was a lack of popular endorsements. The judicial official told Reuters that the court's decision was final and could not be appealed.
