InterRegional for Strategic Analysis

The new Tunisian cabinet has been sworn in. It comprises of 25 ministers and is headed by Najla Bouden. The new cabinet selection reflects efforts to empower women politically and also underlines Tunisian President Kais Saied’s commitment to his pledge to respond to the Tunisian people’s demands, consolidating the legitimacy of the current regime and increasing its domestic popularity. Saied proved capable in reshaping the political scene in Tunis after toppling Muslim Brotherhood figures and Hichem Mechichi’s government. Saied ordered the formation of a new cabinet that supports his new political direction. The appointment of the new cabinet will enhance political stability, which is required to help Tunisia overcome its economic, social, and health crises, as well as to move steadily towards ending the current "exceptional period."

Researchers at the center’s headquarters and the non-resident work group in Cairo were also in attendance.

What are the prospects of governance in Tunisia?

Dr. Mohammed al-Sbitli‏‏

There seems to be no end in sight to the political crisis occurring in Tunisia, namely the almost total disconnect between the president, the prime minister and the speaker of parliament, as well as the stalling of constitutional court appointments and complete formation of the government. It is a crisis that remains at an impasse despite the rare meetings held between the three leaders. Instead of these meetings opening up a path to rapprochement between them, they have only further highlighted this current state of discord. It has also led political and social parties to intervene and push for a national dialogue that everyone welcomes in principle, only for them to disagree over which parties should participate, as well as over the dialogue’s substance and mechanisms.
