Babis, 63, is the country's second richest man, and made a campaign against the Eurosceptic estability and platform, writes BBC, broadcasts the Kosovo Clan.
Results from more than 98% of the polling gave his centrist ANO (Yes), nearly 30% of the vote -- nearly three times as much as the closest rival.
Babis is now the main contender to become prime minister after the coalition negotiations.
The 63-year-old's fortune is estimated to be four billion dollars, but Babis has faced a number of scandals, including those about fraud, as well as accusations that he was a communist-era police agent.
