Tunisian President Kais Saied yesterday announced a Cabinet reshuffle of 19 Ministers.
yesterday announced a Cabinet reshuffle of 19 Ministers that included those for defence, foreign affairs and the economy, ahead of a presidential election on October 6.
The Presidency said in a statement that Khaled Shili would be the new Defence Minister and Mohamed Ali Nafti the Foreign Affairs Minister. Saied earlier this month sacked Prime Minister Ahmed Hachani, replacing him with Kamel Maddouri, the Social Affairs Minister.The Cabinet shuffle comes amid a financial crisis and widespread discontent over recurring water and electricity outages in many parts of the country and a shortage of some goods and medicines, in a move likely aimed at injecting new blood and attracting voters.
Saied consolidated a power grab in 2021 after he shut down the elected parliament, and is running for re-election against two candidates.
