The outgoing Secretary-General of the ruling Nidaa Tounes party, Mohsen Marzouk, said yesterday that he will announce a new political project within the next four days.

Marzouk said he will not attend the next conference organised by Nidaa Tounes and ruled out the possibility of it taking place this month as planned.

Speaking during a press conference, Marzouk said the vast majority of Nidaa Tounes’s supporters have sided with his new party.

He accused the President Beji Caid Essebsi’s son of receiving support from Gulf states and said he recently met with a Gulf ruler to discuss support.
