REUTERS - Tunisian Islamists confirmed election winners, Oct 27, 2011

"By Tarek Amara and Andrew Hammond TUNIS | Thu Oct 27, 2011 5:50pm EDT(Reuters) - Tunisian election officials on Thursday confirmed the Islamist Ennahda party as winner of the North African country's election, setting it up to form the first Islamist-led government in the wake of the Arab Spring uprisings.

Ennahda has tried to reassure secularists and investors, nervous about the prospect of Islamist rule in one of the Arab world's most liberal countries, by saying it would not stop tourists wearing bikinis on beaches or impose Islamic banking.
It has put forward one of its officials for the prime minister's job, after it scored a resounding victory in the country's first ever free election after a January 14 revolution ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali."
