In a parliamentary election at the end of October, the secular Nidaa Tounes (Call of Tunisia) party scored a victory over the Islamist Ennahda (Renaissance). One month later, Tunisians went to the polls to elect a president for the first time since President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali was removed in 2011.
与此同时，在突尼斯，执政数月之久的技术官僚政府有了民主选出的继任者。在10月底的议会选举中，世俗的Nidaa Tounes（突尼斯的召唤）党战胜了伊斯兰复兴党（Islamist Ennahda）。一个月后，突尼斯人通过投票箱选出了总统，这是2011年本·阿里被推翻以来的第一位民选总统。
