This page lists the holders of the office of Head of Government of Tunisia (French: chef du gouvernement tunisien). The post was called Prime Minister until the Revolution, though that title is still used by many sources outside of Tunisia. The office was created in May 1922. Mustapha Dinguizli was thus Tunisia's first Prime Minister in the modern sense. Prior to that, Tunisia had traditional Muslim-style viziers.
Constitutional powers
The powers of the Head of Government are established by the current Constitution of Tunisia of 2014. Under Articles 91, 92 and 94, the Head of Government sets the State's general policy except for foreign policy and domestic security. They are responsible for:
- Creating, amending and dissolving ministries (Except ministries of Defence and Foreign Affairs which require the president's approval).
- Creating, amending and dissolving public institutions, public entities and administrative departments.
- Issuing governmental decrees after consulting the Council of Ministers.
- Shall endorse and sign, where appropriate, regulatory orders issued by ministers.
- Request the parliament to give vote of confidence to their government.
The Head of Government, together with the President, represent Tunisia at home and abroad.
