CAIRO (Reuters) - The Tunisian presidency said on Thursday the political problem in Tunisia today stemmed from the current 2014 constitution which was no longer valid.

"The way forward is to return to the people in a completely new and different way. There must be a legal solution based on the will and sovereignty of the people," the statement quoted president Kais Saied as saying.
