Afek Tounes (Template:Lang-ar, or Tunisian Aspiration) is a centre-right political party in Tunisia. Its program is social liberal, with focus on economy and civil liberties. The party mainly appealed to intellectuals and the upper class. Moncef Marzouki accused the party of having ties to the now banned Constitutional Democratic Rally. The party took offense to his statements and considered his accusation to be "inappropriate" and, according to Al Maghreb, sued him for "deficiency of professional ethics."
Afek Tounes won 4 seats for the constitutive assembly. The party was rattled in 3 November 2011 though by the resignation of several key founding members such as its spokesperson Emna Mnif, its general secretary Mustapha Mezghani, Sami Zaoui, Hela Hababou and another 13 members.
