Tunisia's prime minister presents new government with more support, includes Islamist minister
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Tunisia's prime minister has presented his second government in as many weeks, this time including more parties and a token position for the country's Islamists.
Habib Essid from the nationalist Nida Tunis party that won the most seats in October's election named a new Cabinet on Monday that included a single minister from the powerful Islamist Ennahda Party — Ziad Ladhari as minister of employment.
The first government Essid proposed on Jan. 23 included only one other party and didn't have enough seats in parliament to survive a no-confidence vote.

Tunisia's completed their closely watched democratic transition with elections late last year which were dominated by a nationalist party that now must form a coalition government.
