During the Tunisian Revolution, President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali left Tunisia on 14 January 2011 after being replaced by Mohamed Ghannouchi. The next day, Fouad Mebazaa, as Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, is appointed acting President of the Republic by the Constitutional Council, in accordance with article 57 of the 1959 Constitution. He is then considered as a cacique of the fallen regime.
