Law No. 4 of September 30, 2026, concerning municipal councils in the Republic of Tunisia, was officially published in the Journal officiel de la République tunisienne (JORT) on Wednesday. Article 139 of the decree-law specifically revokes the provisions of Organic Law No. 29 of 2018, which established the Code of Local Authorities, alongside any conflicting clauses. The new legislation comprises 140 articles. This action signifies a substantial change to the framework governing local administration within Tunisia. The decree aims to restructure municipal governance, replacing the existing code with a new regulatory structure. Details regarding the specifics of these 140 articles have yet to be widely disseminated, but the abrogation of the 2018 code represents a key development in Tunisian law. The news initially appeared on Business News.
