Tunisian lawmakers are waiting for the approval of President Kais Saied on the new cabinet reshuffle after he threatened to block the swearing-in of some new ministers, a move that could aggravate animosities that have paralyzed political action.
The parliament’s speaker sent a letter to the president to inform him of the results, stating that the cabinet won a confidence vote.
Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi announced the sweeping reshuffle, which affects 11 ministries including the interior, justice, and health portfolios, in mid-January.

TUNIS, (Reuters) - Tunisian Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi named 12 new ministers on Saturday in a cabinet reshuffle he hopes will inject new blood into his government amid rising political tensions and an unprecedented economic crisis.
Mechichi named Walid Dhabi as the new interior minister, having this month sacked Taoufik Charfeddine, who is close to President Kais Saied, a move underscoring tensions between the country’s two most powerful leaders
