Thouraya Krichen was elected president of the party's central committee.

Here is the new composition of the party's political bureau (Zied Lakhdhar camp), according to the same source.

It should be noted that the PPDU leadership (the Mongi Rahoui camp) decided to hold the party's second congress on April 30 and May 1.

The PPDU last June decided to dismiss Mongi Rahoui, the leader of the party, "in application of the provisions of the party's internal regulations and in order to preserve its unity and guarantee the independence of its political positions".

The PPDU attributed the decision to "Mongi Rahoui's insistence on going against the party's position".

In a statement signed by Zied Lakhdhar, the party's secretary-general, the political bureau said that "any summons to the PPDU congress from another party lacks any political or legal legitimacy".
