Tunisia's Ennahda party to lead fractured new parliament - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Ennahda has been a member of several governing coalitions since Tunisia’s 2011 revolution that have failed to improve living standards or public services in the young democracy.

Any political deadlock resulting from the sharply fragmented parliament would complicate Tunisia’s efforts to address chronic economic problems including a large public debt and unemployment of 15%. Media mogul Nabil Karoui’s Heart of Tunisia party came second, with 38 seats, while Tayyar took 22 seats and Karama 21 seats. Four other parties took between four and 17 seats each.

The results, announced in a televised statement by the electoral commission, are still subject to appeal. They are roughly in line with an exit poll published on Sunday that also showed Ennahda coming first and Heart of Tunisia second. Karoui, who was released from pre-trial detention in a corruption case on Wednesday, is also a candidate in Sunday’s presidential election, where he will face an independent, Kais Saied, who is backed by Ennahda.

Africa's news leader.The United Nations is facing a liquidity crisis that is worse than any that it has ever confronted in at least a decade. No such. They think the public haven't heard of fractional reserve banking (aka. banks counterfeiting money away from the public eye; essentially making money out of nothing). UN must go print the money they need and stop telling the world fairytales.
