Tunisia PM quits amid alleged financial scandal

Addis Ababa, July 16, 2020 (FBC) – The Tunisian Prime Minister Elyes el-Fakhfakh has resigned.
The presidency’s office confirmed that the head of government submitted his resignation on Wednesday morning.

This comes following intense pressure on Mr Fakhfakh from members of parliament the past week over a brewing alleged financial scandal.

He lasted less than six months as prime minister, making this the shortest time in office for a Tunisian government, according to BBC.
