TUNIS: Ministers in Tunisia's interim government have resigned from the ruling party, responding to street protesters' demands for an end to its influence after the overthrow of President Zine al-Abedine Ben Ali.The move announced on state television on Thursday could go some way to restoring credibility in the government after four opposition ministers quit the cabinet this week, saying ruling RCD party ministers must go.
The prime minister and president left the party this week.
Street protesters in Tunis and elsewhere have kept up pressure for a government free of ties with the old guard while a prominent dissident said he would run for president to sweep the former leadership from power.
