Beji Caid Essebsi (or es-Sebsi; Arabic: الباجي قائد السبسي, romanized: Muhammad al-Bājī Qā’id as-Sibsī, pronunciationⓘ; 29 November 1926[1] – 25 July 2019[2]) was a Tunisian politician who served as the sixth president of Tunisia from 31 December 2014 until his death on 25 July 2019.[3] Previously, he served as the minister of foreign affairs from 1981 to 1986 and as the prime minister from February 2011 to December 2011.[4][5]
Essebsi's political career spanned six decades, culminating in his leadership of Tunisia in its transition to democracy.[6] Essebsi was the founder of the Nidaa Tounes political party, which won a plurality in the 2014 parliamentary election. In December 2014, he won the first regular presidential election following the Tunisian Revolution, becoming Tunisia's first democratically elected president.[7]
