In the legislative council election for the Palestinian territories (Westbank and Gaza) in 2006, Hamas received 56.1 percent of the votes. As a result, Hamas took over 45 of the 66 legislative council seats in the Palestinian territories. Previously, the political leadership of the Palestinian territories was held by Fatah/PLO. This led to an internal conflict between Fatah and Hamas, which turned into the Palestinian civil war of 2006 to 2007. As a consequence, Hamas took complete control over the Gaza Strip, leaving the West Bank under the control of Fatah. The 2006 election was the last in the Palestinian territories, including Gaza.
