Tunisia's electoral commission approved on Monday the candidacies of President Kais Saied and two others, Zouhair Magzhaoui and Ayachi Zammel, for next month's presidential election, Reuters reported.

The commission rejected a ruling by the administrative court, the highest judicial body, to reinstate three other prominent candidates in the presidential race.

The electoral campaign will start on Sept. 14, the commission said.

Jordan's health ministry has recorded an mpox case for a non-Jordanian resident, state news agency Petra said on Monday, adding that the case was currently in isolation.

The health ministry said the case was not the first for the kingdom, as it recorded one back in 2022.

The ministry said the case was a 33-year-old male, without identifying his nationality.
