| Egypt Presidency Hails 'High Turnout' in Key Referendum |
| 2014-01-17 |
| [An Nahar] Egypt's presidency hailed on Thursday the "high turnout" in a constitutional referendum, billed by the military-installed government as an endorsement of the overthrow of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... in July. The president's front man "remarked, on the high turnout in the referendum, that it was a beautiful day for Egypt and democracy," a statement said. Official results for two days of voting that ended Wednesday have not yet been announced. |
