On January 2, 2020, Tunisia's PM-designate Habib Jemli announced a cabinet of 28 ministers, including four women, but it still needs parliamentary approval.
According to Jemli, he is confident that the government will be approved by parliament.
Ennahdha, the Islamist-inspired party that designated Jemli as PM, won 52 seats in the legislative election on October 6, 2019, but not enough to form a majority in the 217-seat chamber.
After two months of negotiations, Jemli announced that he would form a government of independents due to 'frictions' between parties over political appointments.
President Kais Saied, a conservative academic with no background in politics, was elected in a presidential run-off a week after the legislative polls.
The final cabinet list includes Hedi Guediri, a former head of the Court of Cassation, as justice minister, while tourism minister Rene Trabelsi keeps his post.
