Free Destourian Party

The Free Destourian Party (Arabic: الحزب الدستوري الحر al-Ḥizb ad-Dustūrī al-Ḥurr, lit.

Since early 2020, the party is leading in all opinion polls for the next Tunisian general elections, and its leader Abir Moussi is always second just after incumbent president Kais Saied.

In 2016, the PDL hold its founding congress, and in it, a new leadership rose among them Abir Moussi as president and Hatem Laamari as secretary-general.

The party has disputed these labels and is describing itself as a centrist political party that has its foundations in the legacy of the founder of the Tunisian republic Habib Bourguiba also known as Bourguibism[13] which are mainly strict secularism, cultural modernity, a welfare state, and Tunisian nationalism (as opposed to Pan-Arabism) which consider Tunisia as closer to the West than to the East.
