Egyptian Presidential Election has been a Farce from the Beginning ... There can be no democratic outcome without a democratic process.

 

Egypt continues to reel in the unknown. The Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate Mohamed Mursi has claimed victory with 52 per cent of the vote while Ahmed Shafiq, the Military SCAF’s preferred candidate dismissed such claims stating that he was in the lead with 51 per cent of the vote.

 

The voting margin is just over 887,000 votes out of 25.5 million votes cast.

 

According to the Judges for Egypt, a group of Egyptian reformist judges who helped monitor the recently-concluded runoffs, Mursi’s held victory with 13,238,335 votes against 12,351,310 for military man Shafiq. This is a difference of only 887,025 votes. Less than one million. The millions of Egyptians (in Egypt and abroad) who were excluded from voting is hugely significant. The election may have been entirely different.

 

Inside Egypt it has not been divulged the large number of Egyptian that were not allowed to vote because they could not reach their home of birth. More than fifty percent of Egyptians have migrated from their homes of birth to cities. Millions of Egyptians work and live in areas of Egypt that are not their place of birth. Taxi drivers, laborers of every sort, and professionals have had to move wherever they have found work. These Egyptians were not allowed to vote unless they had the means and the time to travel to their place of birth to vote on June 16/17. Most could not. This was also the case during the first round of votes in which 13 candidates competed.
