The cabinet of Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid was approved on 5 February 2015 by a majority of 166 of total 217 legislators of Tunisia's Assembly of the Representatives of the People.[1] The unity covernment consists of 27 ministers and 14 secretaries of state[2] and includes independents, members of Nidaa Tounes, the two liberal parties Free Patriotic Union (UPL) and Afek Tounes, and a member of the Islamist Ennahda.[1]
Essid's first proposal, a minority government of just Nidaa Tounes and the UPL, he had brought forward on 23 January,[3] was retracted after facing enough resistance not to be approved by a parliamentary majority.[4]
