Egyptian Elections: Moslem Brotherhood leading, Salafists Second
From Yourmiddleeast.com
The Muslim Brotherhood...said their new Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) was ahead in preliminary results.
"From the start of the voting process until now (around 0930 GMT), preliminary results show the Freedom and Justice party list ahead," a statement from the group said, without giving figures.
In a surprise trend that would alarm secular liberals and the country's minority Christian community, the FJP also claimed that hardline Islamists who follow the strict Salafi brand of Islam were in second position.
