Fakhfakh took office in late February after winning approval from a fragmented parliament.
Elyes Fakhfakh’s resignation came as a political row deepened with the Islamist-inspired Ennahdha party, the largest in parliament, over allegations of conflict of interest. Relations between the 47-year-old outgoing premier and Ennahdha have been strained since the October legislative elections. Ennahdha came top in the October polls but fell far short of a majority – holding 54 of 217 seats in parliament – and eventually agreed to join a coalition government.“But the party finds itself in a government with which it has difficulty dealing and in which it has little clout,” he added.Ennahdha had initially nominated an independent for premier but he failed to win the support of parliament, leading the president to name former finance minister Fakhfakh for the post.
