Farouq Sultan, head of Egypt's Supreme Presidential Elections Commission (SPEC), on Monday announced that procedures for determining final vote counts in Egypt's recently concluded presidential runoff were still underway in 14 governorates.
Sultan stressed that vote-counting procedures had only been completed in 13 out of Egypt's 27 governorates. He pointed out that final results – or speculation as to the winner – could not be announced until all vote tallies had been gathered from the governorates and double-checked according to SPEC procedures and all appeals had been examined.
On Monday, SPEC Secretary-General Hatem Bagato, at a press conference at Egypt's foreign affairs ministry headquarters in Cairo, announced final results of the expatriate vote. Those results were as follows:
In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Mursi received 76,517 votes, while last Mubarak-era premier Ahmed Shafiq received 7,987.
Bagato noted that a Shafiq representative in Riyadh had requested that some 3,000 votes be voided. Of these, however, only 12 were voided by SPEC officials.
