Sitting PM Chahed splits from Nidaa Tounes to found Tahya Tounes

On 27 January 2019, amid the implosion of the ruling Nidaa Tounes over the role of President Essebsi's son, Prime Minister Youssef Chahed and dozens of defecting deputies launched Tahya Tounes ("Long Live Tunisia") at a founding meeting in Monastir; Chahed was elected its president on 2 June 2019. It was an attempt to rebuild a secular-modernist governing pole around the premiership.
