Lebanon's elections results show than the March 14 coalition has won the elections, but all Hizbullah candidates have also found their way into the parliament.

The ruling pro-Western coalition is keeping its narrow margin with 71 seats in the parliament.

Press TV correspondent from Lebanon reported that March 14 has won 69 seats in the 128-seat parliament and the Hizbullah-led bloc (March 8) has won 57 seats.

Two seats are still undecided but the difference in the numbers show that even if the opposition wins these two seats, the ruling party will still have the majority by a margin of at 10 seats.

Hizbullah managed to get all of its eleven candidates elected.

The voter turnout in the election which was held on Sunday has been over 50 percent.
