Moncef Marzouki newly elected president of Tunisia
Rights activist and former opposition leader Moncef Marzouki on Monday became Tunisia's first elected president since the north African country's revolution sparked the Arab Spring.
The north African country's new president was Ben Ali's bete noire throughout his political career and was forced to live in exile in France for a decade.
Marzouki's first order of business will be to name the prime minister, with Hamadi Jebali, the number two of the moderate Islamist Ennahda party, expected to get the nod.
