Al-Mashichi: I am not a crippling element, and I will hand over power to whoever is chosen by the Tunisian president

The relieved Tunisian Prime Minister, Hicham Al-Mashichi, said that he cannot be a disruptive element and that he will hand power to whoever is chosen by Tunisian President Kais Saied.

“The past period was characterized by political tension and the failure of the political system that resulted from the 2019 elections,” Al-Mashishi said in a statement, stressing that it would not be part of a problem that complicates Tunisia’s situation.

He pointed out that he will “hand over the responsibility to the person who will be assigned by the President of the Republic to head the government.”
