ReplyDeleteIt seems that the Supreme Elections Comission has rejected appeals to investigate allegations of vote fraud but the Supreme Constitutional Court is apparently on June 11 set to rule on the issue of whether the law passed barring Mubarak-era official from holding office. Is much of a chance of this actually resulting in Shafiq's disqualification from the run-off or will the law just most likely be struck down?
ReplyDeleteThey burned down Shafik's headquarters, it is being reported. You didn't do that, did you Z? ;)
ReplyDeleteThe people of Egypt must demand the re-vote to be for the top three presidential contenders not only for the top two as is the case now.
ReplyDeleteAbu El fotouh's votes when redistributed among the three may yield a different result for Sabbahi and that must be taken into considerations since he represents the 3rd faction in the current egyptian political scene.
