Most notably, the former Minister of the Interior and a friend of Kais Saied.. These are the most important names nominated to head the Tunisian government

Tunisia -

After Tunisian President Kais Saied announced the dismissal of Prime Minister Hicham Al-Mashishi, and the appointment of another figure of his choosing, among the exceptional measures he had taken, talk began behind the scenes about partisan political figures and other technocrats for this position.

The name of Tawfiq Sharaf al-Din, the former interior minister and coordinator of the electoral campaign for President Saeed, was the first name expected to be announced at the head of the government.

Sharaf El-Din had previously been appointed Minister of the Interior in the government of Elias Al-Fakhfakh, then he was dismissed by Al-Mashishi.

Many consider that this dismissal of Said's personal friend was the spark that ignited the conflict between Al-Mashishi and the President of the Republic.

The second name, which is strongly nominated, is Nizar Yaish, the former Minister of Finance in the Fakhfakh government, and he is also one of the personalities close to the president and who enjoys his confidence, according to observers.

While talking about a national dialogue, which the Labor Union had previously called for, the country’s president chose to break his silence and address the political parties and national organizations through the former Minister Yaish, after inviting him to the palace and consulting him on economic and financial issues.

Former Finance Minister Hakim Hammouda is among the names nominated to head the government, and he is a technocrat. He held the ministerial position in the government of Al-Mahdi Gomaa in 2014, and was previously nominated to head the government after the failure of Habib Al-Jamli’s government to gain the confidence of Parliament.

Other names include the former Defense Minister, Imad Al-Hazqi, who was previously recommended for this position by President Saeed. He also served as the head of the National Authority for Access to Information. The man has no political or party affiliation.

Al-Mashishi had officially announced his resignation yesterday, stressing in a statement posted on his Facebook page that he cannot be a disruptive element, and that he will hand over responsibility to anyone chosen by the president.
