The Tunisia Forward Movement (Tounes Ila Al-Amam) said that it will hold its party's first conference on February 9, 10 and 11, adding that that candidacies are open, in accordance with the internal regulations, from January 25 to February 6. In a statement issued recently, the party underlined that candidates must be members of one of the movement's structures (central council, council secretariat, one of the committees provided for in the internal regulations, a regional constituency or a local constituency). The Tunisia Forward Movement is a left-wing Tunisian political party founded on May 7, 2018 by Abid Briki, former member of the executive office of the Tunisian General Labor Union (UGTT) and former Minister of the Civil Service in the government of Youssef Chahed (from August 2016 to February 2017).
