President Kaïs Saied says he’ll dissolve Parliament today if it rejects the government proposed by his Prime Minister.

The majority Ennhada Party is the stumbling block.

The Prime Minister from this moderate Islamist party named by President  Kaïs Saied stepped down when  he could not find parliamentary approval for a government. 

Saied then named another premier Elyes Fakhfakh who is having similar difficulty because Ennhada is withholding support.

It’s being called the biggest constitutional crisis since Tunisia became independent from France 64 years  ago.

The political impasse aside, Tunisia faces a major economic hurdle when  the four-year International Monetary Fund aid package comes to and end in April.
