Tunisia-Ennahda offered the democratic current to vote for Ghannouchi in exchange of appointing Ghazi Chaouachi as First Vice-President of the HPR

In an official statement to Tunisie Numérique, a credible source from the democratic current positively asserted that Ennhdha carefully conducted numerous and extensive negotiations with various political parties despite not trusting any of them. 
The same source added that the Islamic party offered to vote for the secretary-general of the democratic current Ghazi Chaouachi as First Vice-President of the HPR in direct exchange of acquiring the current votes for Rached Ghannouchi for the post of Speaker of the Assembly of the Representatives of the People. However, the democratic current steadfastly refused the exclusive deal as their effective consultations with the Islamic party is solely focused on the upcoming government formation.
