Tunisian President Kais Saied has taken the decision to relieve Prime Minister Najla Bouden, the first woman to lead a government in Tunisia, from office, as announced in an official video from the presidency on Tuesday evening.
In a surprising announcement, the President of the Republic of Tunisia, Kais Saïed, has decided to end the functions of Prime Minister Najla Bouden, according to a video released by the presidency on Tuesday evening. This decision marks a major turning point in the country, since Najla Bouden was the first woman to hold the post of Prime Minister in Tunisia.
The precise reasons for this government reshuffle were not immediately disclosed, leaving the population and political observers in suspense. Nevertheless, the appointment of Ahmed Hachani to replace Najla Bouden was announced simultaneously. Ahmed Hachani brings with him previous professional experience at the Central Bank of Tunisia, as well as an academic link with President Saïed, having studied at the Faculty of Law of the University of Tunis where the latter taught.
This political development raises questions about the future direction of the Tunisian government under the new leadership of Ahmed Hachani. As the country goes through a period of complex political transition and socio-economic challenges, the appointment of a new Prime Minister could impact government policies and priorities with regard to the crucial issues facing Tunisia.
The dismissal of Prime Minister Najla Bouden by President Kais Saïed marks a historic moment for Tunisia, dismissing the first woman to lead a government in the country. As the new prime minister, Ahmed Hachani, takes the reins of power, all eyes are on the future to see how his tenure will unfold and what changes he will bring to the country.
