Tunisia: Islamists Lead Polls Before Tunisian Election, Bloomberg (2011)

This news article is about Tunisia, the first country to rise up in the so-called Arab Spring, which may also become the region’s first new democracy to vote an Islamist party into power. Ennahdha, an Islamic party legalized only six months ago, is the front-runner in the Oct. 23 vote to choose an assembly to write a new constitution, according to an OpinionWay poll released just before a pre-election polling ban took effect on Oct. 1. The party says it won’t impose its views on what is now the most secular country in the region.
