Tunisian anti-terrorism police have summoned for questioning Rached Ghannouchi, head of the Ennahda party and speaker of the parliament that President Kais Saied dissolved this week, Ghannouchi said on Friday.
The summons for Friday afternoon followed those of other parliament members who backed or participated in an online session this week to defy Saied’s earlier announcement that he was suspending the chamber.
Saied said late on Thursday he would not hold elections within three months.
Saied has previously said he will form a committee to rewrite the constitution, put it to a referendum in July and then hold parliamentary elections in December.
Tunisia’s Free Constitutional Party will boycott any referendum on political changes and pledge to oppose it, said party leader Abir Moussa on Friday.
Ennahda has also rejected Saied’s referendum call.
