The Ennahdha Party (Arabic: حزب حركة النهضة Hizbu Ḥarakatu n-Nahḍah;French: (Mouvement du) Parti Ennahdha), also known as Renaissance Party or simply Ennahdha, is a moderate Islamicpolitical party in Tunisia. Founded as the "The Movement of Islamic Tendency" in 1981, Ennahdha was inspired by the Iranian revolution, and Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, but has also been called "the mildest and most democratic Islamist party in history".Rached Ghannouchi was the movement's founder and remains its president.
In the wake of the 2011 Tunisian revolution and collapse of the government of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the Ennahdha Movement Party was formed, and in the 2011 Tunisian Constituent Assembly election, (the first free election in the country's history), won a plurality of 37% of the popular vote and formed a government. Uproar in the traditionally secular country over "Islamization" and assassinations of two secular politicians however, led to the 2013–14 Tunisian political crisis, and the party stepped down following the implementation of a new constitution in January 2014. The party came in second with 27.79% of the vote, in the 2014 Tunisian parliamentary election, forming a coalition government with the largest secular party, but did not offer or endorse a candidate in the November 2014 presidential election.
