TUNIS, Tunisia, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Tunisian polls closed Sunday in presidential and parliamentary elections widely expected to be won by the incumbent president and his party.
Only 20 percent of the parliament's 189 seats are allotted to opposition parties, the BBC reported.
President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the second president since Tunisia's independence from France in 1956, has been in power for the last 17 years.
In the first seven of the country's 26 constituencies to declare results, the president polled between 93 percent and 97 percent.
Full results are expected Monday.
