The Central Elections Commission released the final results on Sunday, 29 January 2006, and announced that Change and Reform (Hamas) had won 74 of the 132 seats, while Fatah trailed with 45. According to the results, Hamas won the large majority of the constituency seats but was more narrowly ahead on the lists.


Want to try again? My BS metronome is going crazy.

on edit: Gaza went overwhelmingly for Hamas. The Green is where Hamas carried the majority. BTW, they haven't had an election since.
