Tunisia's secularist party Nidaa Tounes has won 85 seats
in the country's parliament following Sunday's elections, official results
show.
The governing Islamist Ennahda party won 69
seats in the 217-seat chamber.
The official results confirm earlier
predictions and Ennahda officials have already urged Nidaa Tounes to form an
inclusive government.
Tunisia's transition to democratic rule after
a 2011 revolt has been hailed as a regional success story.
The revolt was the first and least violent of
the Arab Spring uprisings against autocratic governments across the region.
The parliamentary poll was the second such
election since the uprising.
Tunisia's secularists and Islamists have
managed the transition to democracy with less acrimony and bloodshed than their
neighbours, correspondents say.
The country nevertheless faces a persistent
low-level threat from militants.
Around five million Tunisians were registered
to cast their ballot.
