Tunisia: Islamists lose votes, but remain strongest
By EUobserver
Exit polls indicated on Sunday that the moderate Islamist party Ennahda would remain the largest party in parliamentary elections, despite a huge loss of votes. With 17.5 percent of the votes it would be two percent ahead of the Heart of Tunisia party of jailed media magnate and presidential candidate Nabil Karoui. He will participate in the second round of the presidential elections which will be held on 13 October.
