Head of state
Sourced
Ministers are verified against the official members list of the Presidency of the Government (pm.gov.tn), opened on 13 October 2026; the official title of the head of government is Head of Government (Cheffe du Gouvernement). English titles are translations of the Arabic and French titles, and Latin spellings follow the French page. The presidency site (carthage.tn) returned errors, so the President is sourced. The Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy has no minister: Slah Zouari has run it on an interim basis since April 2026. The official page gives 25 August 2025 as Ezzeddine Ben Cheikh's start date, which conflicts with his appointment in the August 2024 government, so no start date is recorded for him.
