Prison gates closing\u003cbr/\u003eThe ruling Fatah Party won a slim victory Wednesday in the Palestinians' first parliamentary election in a decade, edging out Hamas and capturing enough seats to govern without the Islamic militants, according to exit polls.\u003cbr/\u003eThe strong showing by Hamas, which was contesting its first election ever, reflected popular discontent with Fatah, the secular party that has led the\u003cbr/\u003ePalestinian Authority since its creation 12 years ago and has been accused of widespread corruption and mismanagement.\u003cbr/\u003eHundreds of thousands of Palestinians flooded polling stations on Wednesday to cast ballots in their first parliamentary election in a decade.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to an exit poll by Bir Zeit University, Fatah took 46.4 percent of the vote in Palestinian parliamentary elections on Wednesday, to 39.5 percent for Hamas in its first legislative run, the exit poll showed.\u003cbr/\u003eThe results would translate into 63 seats for Fatah and 58 for Hamas in the 132-seat Palestinian legislature, pollsters said. \u003cbr/\u003ePalestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, speaking shortly after Palestinian elections ended, called on the international\u003cbr/\u003ecommunity on Wednesday to help restart long-stalled negotiations with Israel.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking about results, he stressed he wanted to see officials results to take conclusions of the elections. \"We have said repeatedly, again and again, that the judge will be the ballot box,\" Abbas said.\u003cbr/\u003eAbbas is from the ruling and ailing Fatah party which has dominated Palestinian politics since the establishment of a degree of self-rule in Gaza and the West Bank in 1994. \u003cbr/\u003eFatah, which has led the Palestinian people for decades, has suffered in-fighting and been hit by accusations of corruption and cronyism.\u003cbr/\u003eIt faces a stiff challenge from the Change and Reform Party, the name under which the resurgent Islamic movement Hamas is competing in the election.\u003cbr/\u003eIn the Jerusalem suburb of Abu Dis in the West Bank, Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia cast his ballot saying Fatah was ready to \"stand behind\" Hamas if the Islamic movement won Wednesday's parliamentary vote.\u003cbr/\u003eFatah hopes to resume peace talks with Israel after the elections while Hamas has long ruled out negotiations, though it has signalled some flexibility on the issue in recent days.\u003cbr/\u003eFatah candidate and Gaza strongman Mohammed Dahlan said the issue of disarming Hamas will be discussed after Wednesday's election. \u003cbr/\u003eBut Hamas' top parliamentary candidate, Ismail Haniyeh, said on Wednesday that the organisation has no intention of laying down its arms after the elections whilst the Israeli occupation and incarceration of Palestinians continues.\u003cbr/\u003eHamas is widely expected to make a strong showing that would place the Islamic militant group responsible for dozens of suicide bombings and rocket attacks against Israel squarely inside the Palestinian political system for the first time.\u003cbr/\u003eThe group's huge popularity among Palestinians has alarmed Israel and the West.\u003cbr/\u003ePalestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has argued that bringing them into the fold will tame them, enabling peace moves to go forward. \u003cbr/\u003eIt is forecast that Hamas will join the government after the election, and Abbas has said he expects the group to disarm once it formally enters politics. \u003cbr/\u003eMohammed Abu Teir, the top Hamas candidate in Jerusalem and second on the Hamas list, cast his vote in the Tzur Baher neighbourhood of Jerusalem.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Ramallah, Fadwa Barghouti, wife of jailed Intifada leader Marwan Barghouti voted. \u003cbr/\u003eAddressing the media, she said \"I say to him (husband Marwan Barghouti) that your Palestinian people deserve from you and your brothers this sacrifice.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBarghouti, legislator in the outgoing parliament, is serving five consecutive life terms in an Israeli prison for involvement in alleged attacks that killed four Israelis and a Greek monk. \u003cbr/\u003eDespite his imprisonment, Barghouti remains the the top candidate of the Fatah party and is considered a possible successor to Abbas. \u003cbr/\u003eIsrael has said it will not grant him early release, though there is persistent speculation that he will be freed if circumstances allow.\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough Palestinians held in Israeli prisons are unable to vote in the general election, other detainees can.\u003cbr/\u003eAhmed Saadat heads the list for the radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).\u003cbr/\u003eHe cast his vote in the prison where he is being held in the West Bank town of Jericho.\u003cbr/\u003eHe is being detained under foreign supervision in connection with the PFLP's assassination of an Israeli cabinet minister in 2001. \u003cbr/\u003eSaadat has conducted his election campaign from inside the prison, mostly by telephone but at times arranging press conferences in his cell. \u003cbr/\u003eHe was expected to be elected to the 132-seat Legislative Council.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
