The prime minister is taking charge of the interior ministry until a new minister is appointed, TAP said, citing a government statement.

The statement did not give reasons for the decision.

Charfeddine is seen as close to Tunisian President Kais Saied

Mechichi, an ex-interior minister, took office in September.

He had previously sacked the ministers of culture and environment from his government.

Tunisia, the birthplace of the 2010-11 Arab Spring revolts, has recently seen a string of social unrest.
