Tunisia’s Ennahda party is to begin its 10th conference on Friday, which will be held in southern Tunisia, with an expected 12,000 attendees.
A Tunisian newspaper revealed that “electronic voting” would be adopted in an unprecedented development in the history of party conferences in the country.
The independent daily Tunisian newspaper Al-Shuruq quoted Mukhtar Al-Lammushi, member of the National Constituent Council and member of the High Committee for the material preparations for the conference, who said that the event will be the crowning of 279 local conferences, 60 regional conferences and 47 sessions held by the Shura Council during the past four years in addition to numerous preparatory meetings.

He pointed out that one of the objectives of the conference is “a greater opening toward women and the youth, with a representation reaching 40 per cent”.

Rules and laws will also be discussed and approved, the leader of the movement will be elected and so will the Shura Council whose members number 150. The constitutional committees will also be elected as stated in the statute (the order committee and the fiscal control committee).
