Secularists win Tunisia vote

AFP, Thnis
Tunisia's secular Nidaa Tounes won landmark parliamentary elections, results showed yesterday, beating Islamists in a vote that raised hopes of a peaceful transition in the birthplace of the Arab Spring.
Sunday's election has been hailed as a victory for democracy in the North African nation, which touched off the so-called Arab Spring when protests drove longtime dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali from power in 2011.
Tunisians hope the election, and a presidential vote on November 23, will provide much-coveted stability, nearly four years after the revolution.
Nidaa Tounes - an eclectic coalition of left and centreright politicians, opposition figures and senior people from the ousted Ben Ali regime — won 85 of 217 seats, the ISIE election body told a press conference.
The moderate Islamist movement Ennahda, which had run Tunisia in coalition with other parties for much of the time since Ben Ali's downfall, took 69 seats.
With an outright majority of 109 seats virtually out of the question once final results are issued, political horsetrading has already begun on forming a coalition.
Under Tunisia's electoral system, a party that gains the largest number of votes but falls short of a majority is given a mandate to form a coalition government.
But there is no natural alliance among the various parties, and media reports have suggested a grand coalition between the two top vote-getters may be possible.
Ennahda, which won Tunisia's first free elections three years ago after Ben Ali's departure, had been accused of working to steer society away from its traditional secularism, and the country is troubled by a low-level jihadist insurgency.
At the same time, the economy has been in the doldrums during Ennahda's tenure, with unemployment among the young, themselves widely disaffected, a major concern.
But the Tunisian central bank expressed confidence Thursday that the results of the election would contribute to putting the economy back on track.
The UPL (Free Patriotic Union), led by entrepreneur Slim Riahi, came third with 16 seats, one more than the leftist coalition Popular Front.
Another 15 parties will divide up the remaining 32 seats.
