Ahmed Brahim (Arabic: أحمد إبراهيم, ʾAḥmad Ibrāhīm; 14 June 1946 – 14 April 2016) was a Tunisian politician.
He was the Ettajdid Movement's candidate for President of Tunisia in the 2009 presidential election.
[1][2] After the fall of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, he was appointed by the new government as the Minister of Higher Education and left the post on 7 March.
[3] Brahim is in favor of the emergence of a "democratic modern and secular [laicist] state" not connected with Islamists.
According to Brahim, this would require "radical" reform of the electoral system, which would improve the political climate in guaranteeing freedom of assembly and a large scale independent press, as well as repealing a law that regulated public discourse of electoral candidates.
