The commission said that the number of pre-filled ballot papers was only 2154 and they were invalidated and eliminated from the final results. The second appeal related to preventing voters from reaching polling station was denied as the commission found no evidence on groups preventing voters from reaching polling stations and it has also found the number of voters during the runoff to be 2464 with a minor increase than the number of voters during the first round of elections which was 2437.

across Egypt, affirming the legislative institution s sincere desire for fruitful cooperation with the elected President for the benefit of the people and the homeland. Twitter @AsmaaMahfouz Now where are all those people who kept telling us Shafiq will win and that SCAF is preparing for another kill? I wish we stop spreading these rumors. Members of Parliament should enter the building and hold their session. Now that we have an elected parliament and an elected president, SCAF should not have any domination over them! @Arabist New on Arabist: Muslim Brotherhood Tallies and Keeping Egypt Honest http://arb.st/nbrg8u Catching with morsi s speech I am saddened he mentioned many buy had nary a word for the khawagas. #snif New on Arabist: President Morsi (for sure this time.)http://bit.ly/kvfkok I wonder if by the time. Fly back to cairo on Thursday Morsi s portrait will hang in every office and hall. I still hope @ElBaradei is appointed as head of intelligence, not PM. Morsi says prez of all Egyptians. But will he be the president of all the kufar and khawagas too? @Iyad_ElBaghdadi In fact I'll probably have to start a new hashtag,#bsreasonsmorsiwon. Or perhaps #DouchebagReasonsMorsiWon.#Egypt Later today I'll retweet all those voices whose position is, rather than the revolution succeeding, #Egypt has entered an "age of darkness". Having an intense awareness of your chains is necessary for freedom. If you think you're already free, there's no hope for liberation. 28
I don't have to respect your opinion. It could be terrible. What I must respect is your right to have an opinion, even if I don't like it. Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, but he enjoys it. Never kick a dead dog. It's kinda undignified to argue against someone when history itself declared their arguments extinct. When your opponent is hanging himself, give him more rope. When they're messing up, allow them to mess up completely. When faced with two diametrically opposite sides, the truth isn't necessarily somewhere in between. It could be that one side is total BS. @AalamWassef Translating a French tweet from @screaminsiren : "You voted for Not-Shafik just as we voted for Not-Sarkozy" #indeed Getting a lot of: "Oh Aalam you must be so disappointed Egypt is sinking into Islamism". As though no one here knew how to swim#chill To the Muslim Brotherhood Miriam Makeba says "reality is going to bring you down". And she says it with style. #Listenhttp://tinysong.com/x3l5 Hosni Mubarak looks kind of cool with a beard. I solemnly join Morsi in thanking SCAF for protecting the revolution. Egypt could have been Syria. Long live Tantawi, my love, my saviour. Muslim Brotherhood: We won. Revolutionaries: Shafik lost. SCAF: what's his name again? Heil Kommandant Shafik! Heil to the 4th Reich! Switch off your televisions, stretch your right hand! Heil! Heil! Heil! #egyelex Sultan decided to read the full text of War and Peace before announcing the winner. Only 992 pages left. Stay tuned. #egyelex @Gsquare86 I am so happy watching this moment ppl in Nasr City chanting against SCAF in the street while celebrating Morsi..This is a good sign #Egypt 29
It's amazing how quickly all the celebration will fade away and reality sets that SCAF is in control and Morsi is just a puppet #Egypt If you would've told me in 2010 that in 2012 MB Morsi would be Egypt's president, I would've given you a psychiatrist number#crazyfacts We were wrong in anticipating SCAF rigging it for Shafiq, seems like they couldn't dare to do it knowing they won't get away Yes, SCAF not daring to overtly rig elections for their favorite candidate #Shafiq is a WIN for the rev regardless who opposed Shafiq #Egypt 30
