Tunisia Prime Minister Resigns Over Conflict Of Interest
Tunisian Prime Minister Elyes Fakhfakh attends the national conference “to establish decentralisation and local power” on July 15, 2020 in Tunis. FETHI BELAID / AFPTunisian Prime Minister Elyes Fakhfakh resigned on Wednesday, according to two official sources who did not want to be named, after a row with the Islamist-inspired Ennahdha party.
Ennahdha had earlier Wednesday tabled a no-confidence motion against Fakhfakh, who took office in February after winning approval from a fragmented parliament following four months of deadlock. The party initially nominated an independent for premier but he failed to win the support of parliament, leading President Kais Saied to name former finance minister Fakhfakh for the post.Fakhfakh arrives to preside over the national conference “to establish decentralisation and local power” on July 15, 2020 in Tunis.
Harouni had told Tunisian radio shortly before Fakhfakh resigned that Ennahdha would present a no-confidence motion in parliament “before the end of July”.
