Tunisia’s Prime Minister Habib Essid received a vote of no-confidence from the parliament. Essid has not made a lot of progress in seeing Tunisia’s financial reforms put into action. He has also been unable to create growth or jobs during his two years in office.
Out of the 191 present for the vote, only three voted to support Essid and 118 voted to oust the prime minister.
It is expected that a new premier will be named after negotiations within the ruling coalition of four major parties; this may include a change in cabinet with a new prime minister.
