Muslim Brotherhood Leads in Egypt’s 1st Round of Elections
The initial results of Egypt's first parliamentary elections since former President Hosni Mubarak was toppled showed that Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party is ahead of other parties with observers believing that the Islamic party will win a majority of the votes.
In its statement, the "Freedom and Justice Party" (FJP) announced that "the initial results showed its coalition ahead, followed by parties belonging to Islamist Salafi movements, as a coalition of secular movements came third."
The party formed by the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's mainstream Islamist group, appeared to have taken about 40 percent of the vote, as expected.
Fayyum province, South of Cairo, saw the highest number of votes go to the party's list, followed by Red Sea province and the capital Cairo, the group said in a statement which gave no figures.
Voters were asked to cast three ballots in the election - two for individual candidates and another for a party or bloc of parties.
The FJP said it was ahead in all nine provinces in the individual candidate constituencies which voted on Monday and Tuesday.
Millions of Egyptians filed into polling stations on Monday and Tuesday to elect a
new parliament in polls largely hailed as successful.
