Tunisians Lose Faith In Ennahda, Revolution
Missteps have left Ennahda as unpopular in Tunisia as the Muslim Brotherhood is in Egypt.
The Sept. 28 agreement by Tunisia’s Islamist-led government to resign and allow the formation of an independent cabinet to oversee new elections reflects a sharp drop in popular support since the 2011 revolution.
According to new polling data made available to Al-Monitor, the moderate Islamist party Ennahda has the confidence of only 28% of Tunisians — the same meager support that Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood had prior to this summer’s coup.
