Tunisia to hold general election in December, PM says
None
Tunisian Prime Minister Ali Larayedh Monday called a general election for December 17 after an emergency meeting aimed at easing political tensions and as protests demanded the Islamist government's ouster.
"This government will stay in office: We are not clinging to power, but we have a duty and a responsibility that we will exercise to the end," he told state television, proposing December 17 as the date for a general election. (AFP)
