Political career

From 1981 Larayedh was the spokesman for the Islamist Ennahda movement. Under President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali , he was arrested in 1990 and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

After the loss of power of President Ben Ali as a result of mass protests (" jasmine revolution ") in early 2011 and the victory of the Islamists in the constituent assembly election , Larayedh joined the cabinet of his party friend Hamadi Jebali as interior minister on December 20, 2011 .

After Jebali's resignation, Larayedh was appointed as his successor on February 22, 2013.

Larayedh is considered a hardliner and rejects any participation in politics by parties that played any role under Ben Ali.

On October 24, 2013, Larayedh announced his resignation. He resigned from office on January 9, 2014. His successor is the previous Minister of Industry, Mehdi Jomaâ .
