Tunisia Islamist party takes half of votes abroad
None
In the first official results from Tunisia's landmark elections, a leading Islamist party has taken half the seats reserved for Tunisians living abroad.
The strong showing by the Ennahda party overseas is expected to be replicated domestically as vote counting continues Monday. Tunisians voted Sunday for a body to write their new constitution.
There are 18 seats in the new 217-member assembly reserved for those living outside the country. (AP)
