 Tunisians asked that a National Constituent Assembly (NCA) be formed that would be charged with writing the new constitution.The party of the former regime, the Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD) was banned from running for re-election, and En-Nahdha received 40% of the vote in an election overseen by a higher independent authority in April 2011.With its share of 89 out of 217 total seats, En-Nahdha then formed a coalition in the form of a triumvirate, or troika, with the Congress for the Republic and the Forum known as Ettakatul within the NCA.
