Cairo: Mohammed Mursi, head of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and
Justice Party, is leading by a million votes in the Egyptian
presidential runoff after 95 percent of the ballots were counted,
his campaign office said Monday.
According to his poll office, around 12.4 million people or 52
percent voted for Mursi, while his only rival Ahmed Shafiq got
only 11.4 million votes or 48 percent.
Shafiq was the last prime minister in the regime of former
president Hosni Mubarak.
A spokesman for Shafiq's election campaign office said they would
not confirm the data provided by the rival candidate's staff but
they would wait for the final official results, expected to be
announced June 21.
The country's ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces is due to
hand over power to the new president July 1.
