TUNIS, Jan 20 (Reuters) - All ministers in Tunisia's interim government have resigned from the ruling party of the ousted president, state TV reported, after demands the RCD party be stripped of power or dissolved.

Four union and opposition ministers had quit the interim cabinet this week, demanding that RCD ministers go. The move could go some way to restoring credibility in the cabinet.
