Tunisian Prime Minister Mohamed Gannouchi has pledged to leave politics after election is held in the coming months.
In an interview on the Tunisian television on Friday the Prime Minister Gannouchi said that he leave office and quit politics in the shortest possible timeframe.
"My role is to bring my country out of this temporary phase and even if I am nominated I will refuse it and leave politics," Ghannouchi said.
Gannouchi is an ally of the ousted president Ben Ali anda member of his ruling party, the Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD). The month-long protests that led the Tunisian military to push the president from power underscored the political alienation, limited economic opportunity, and corruption rife in Ben Ali's Tunisia.
