Egypt weighs election complaints
Egypt’s election committee was yesterday fielding complaints about a presidential poll that has left voters with what many see as a painful run-off choice between an Islamist apparatchik and a throwback to Hosni Mubarak’s era. Both contenders are seeking to lay claim to the mantle of the “revolution” that toppled Mubarak 15 months ago, and to appeal to the many Egyptians who picked more centrist figures in last week’s historic first round. Hatem Bagato, the secretary-general of the electoral committee, said the results of the election will be announced today “or Tuesday at the latest”, during a conference call.
