Papal candidates seclude themselves in monasteries till the end of the altar ballot

 The five papal candidates: Bishop Raphael, Bishop Tawadrous, Father Raphael of St. Mina monastery, Father Pachomius of Syrian monastery, Father Seraphim of Syrian monastery, have decided to seclude themselves in their monasteries till the end of the altar ballot.

It's worth mentioning that the altar ballot is going to decide who is going to be the new pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
