Union for Tunisia
The Union for Tunisia (Tunisian Arabic: الاتحاد من أجل تونس, French: Union pour la Tunisie) is a secularist electoral alliance in Tunisia, formed in February 2013 to run in the October 2014 legislative election. Originally, it consisted of five political parties,[2] only three of which are still part of it ahead of the election.[3] The Republican Party, which was an original member, withdrew from the coalition on 30 December 2013.[4] In May 2014, Nidaa Tounes announced that it would run on separate lists as well.[3]
