Tunisia’s president, Kais Saied, who ousted the prime minister and suspended parliament on July 25 has appointed a new government by decree.
“The President of the Republic, Kais Saied, has issued a presidential order naming the Prime Minister and its members,” the Tunisian presidency announced in a statement on Monday.
“The government’s main priority will be tackling corruption,” said Prime Minister Najla Bouden Romdhane at the swearing-in ceremony
President Kais Saied said that he was confident Tunisia would move from frustration to hope.
On September 29, President Kais Saied asked Bouden to form and lead a government quickly, the first time in the country's history that a woman reached the office of prime minister.
At their meeting at the presidential palace, which was broadcast by the president's office, Saied described the news as “an honor to Tunisia and Tunisian women”.
