Tunisian President Kais Saied on Friday appointed the governor of Tunis, Kamal Feki, as the new interior minister.
This came hours after Taoufik Charafeddine announced his resignation from the post, Reuters reported.
This month, Feki refused to grant a protest permit to the opposition Salvation Front coalition, saying that its leaders were involved in plotting against state security, but the Interior Ministry allowed them to protest.
