Tunisia's Islamist Ennahda party has emerged the victor in the nation's first ever free elections.<br/> The party, banned before the revolution that ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, won 90 of the 217 seats in the new assembly.<br/> It's not an outright win.<br/> The party is expected to form a coalition with two of the secularist runners-up.<br/> Ennahda's leader is pledging a new dawn for Tunisians.<br/> SOUNDBITE: Rachid Ghannouchi, leader of the Ennahda party, saying (Arabic):<br/> "We give our promise to them to continue to realise the aims of the revolution in a Tunisia that is free, independent, developing and prosperous, and where the rights of God, the Prophet, women, men, the religious and non-religious, are assured because Tunisia is for everybody."<br/> While Ennahda's supporters celebrate, the promises of its leader haven't prevented some backlash.<br/> Supporters of one opposition party set the mayor's office on fire in a town where votes were discounted because of campaign finance violations.<br/> The trouble flared in Sidi Bouzid, birthplace of the revolution, but appears to have been an isolated incident.<br/> Paul Chapman, Reuters
