CAIRO: Supreme Electoral Committee head Abdel Moez Ibrahim assured that first round results of the parliamentary elections will be announced in the next few hours. The committee will announce the candidates who won the professional seats and the political party list with the highest number of votes. The committee also said the runoff, after the results' announcement, would last for two days starting December 5. It added that electoral campaigning for the runoff can commence starting the announcement of the first phase results until December 4, with a set limit of 250,000 EGP on campaign expenditure. Ibrahim said the committee is not delaying the results announcement deliberately, as some rumors have claimed. He added that delays in the ballot counting process were down to problems facing counting stations, such as administrators striking or violent clashes during the voting process.
