The current division of the Egyptian parliament after the first round (166 seats) is as follows:

Freedom and Justice Party (Muslim Brotherhood) and minor coalition partners: 80 seats
Islamic [salafis] Alliance: 34 seats
Egyptian Bloc: 17 seats (supported by many Copts and liberals)
Wafd Party: 12 seats (anti american, anti Israel but secular)
Revolution Continues Coalition: 5 seats
Center Party (Islamist but more moderate than MB): 4 seats
Justice Party: 1 seat
Former NDP members: 9 seats

Voter turnout plummeted in the runoff elections. In Cairo's 8th district, voter turnout fell by 51 percent, in Cairo's 4th by 41 percent, in Cairo's 6th by 39 percent, and in Alexandria's 1st by 37 percent. Turnout outside the cities also decreased, though to a lesser extent.
