"The Ennahda Movement won the local elections after getting 27.5 percent of votes, a state-run broadcaster said Sunday.
The voting process ended at 6.00 p.m. (1700GMT) with low turnout.
According to the unofficial results, Nidaa Tounes party, the second largest political party with 55 deputies in the parliament, ranked second in the elections with 22.5 percent of the votes.
Top Ennahda official Lotfi Zitoun said: "This result is a reward for the new tolerant and democratic Ennahda ... Ennahda which searched for consensus."
...
Tunisia has been hailed as the only democratic success of the Arab Spring, because it toppled long-serving autocrat Zine El Abidine Ben Ali without triggering major violence.
Local elections are seen as the next step in the democratic transition process in the country following the popular uprising that ousted the long time autocrat Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011."
