Tunisia continues to demonstrate that Arab Spring 2011’s revolts can indeed seed democratic change.

On Oct. 26, Tunisia’s secularist party, Tunisian Call (Nidaa Tounes), won a parliamentary plurality. By winning at least 35 percent of parliament’s seats, Tunisian Call now has the opportunity to form a new coalition government. The Islamist Ennahda Party, which leads Tunisia’s current coalition government, won 25 percent. That represents a marked decline from the last national election when Ennahda won around 40 percent.
