The detained Tunisian presidential candidate Nabil Karoui said in a statement that his Heart of Tunisia party had come first in Sunday's parliamentary election, without saying where the information came from.
His statement was emailed to Reuters at 6.35 p.m., 35 minutes after polls closed, with early indications from the electoral commission having shown that turnout across the country was low.
