Tunisia's president says necessary to amend constitutionTunisian President Kais Saied has announced plans to amend the constitution and form a new governmentTUNIS - Tunisian President Kais Saied has announced plans to amend the constitution and form a new government months after he dismissed the prime minister and suspended parliament in moves his critics called a coup. Saied also said it was necessary to change the constitution. "The Tunisian people rejected the constitution," he said, while adding that the charter is "not eternal". Elected in late 2019, the legal theorist and former law professor has billed himself as the ultimate interpreter of the constitution. Saied has yet to appoint a new government or reveal a roadmap towards normality, despite repeated demands by political parties.
