Abdallah Farhat

[3] Originally from Ouerdanine in the governorate of Monastir, he first occupied the post of Minister of PTT from September 20 to October 1, 1957.

During his appointment as President of the Cabinet of President Habib Bourguiba, in March 1972, the creation of a vice-president position was approved by the Political Bureau of the Socialist Party of Destour (PSD) to deal with presidential absences for cause.

However, the project is abandoned after the flip-flop of the president who wants to keep his grip on power and not appoint a dolphin.

In addition, after the dismissal of Tahar Belkhodja, he briefly took over as head of the Ministry of the Interior (23 December-26 December 1977).

However, Bourguiba managed to counter this new attempt to weaken his power and sanctions the organizers of the congress including Farhat who is dismissed from the government on September 12 and the Political Bureau.
