Tunisia's interim government has granted the main Islamist group, El Nahda, permission to form a political party, the official Tunis Afrique Presse News Agency (TAP) said.
Tuesday's decision will allow El Nahda, a moderate Islamist movement that had been banned for two decades under toppled President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's rule, to participate in upcoming elections.
