“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.

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.
