I think you missed the point. Boycotting the election is a people's way of telling the despot that runs the country they know the election is a sham and the resulting "government" in no way represents their views. Any politician or judge who opposes the current dictator is in jail barred from running.

Whatever government emerges it will be clear the great majority of Tunisians do not consider them legitimate.
