FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“There will be violence if Shafiq wins,” Mohammed al-Daramali, of a
group calling itself The Coalition to Rescue the Revolution, said at the
weekend.
“Shafiq’s place is prison, not the presidential chair.”
Mr Shafiq has said he will honour the revolution, but has refused to distance
himself from his previous description of Mr Mubarak as his “role model”.
The army is braced for protests after the vote on June 16-17 and there is a
high likelihood of trouble in the run-up. On Saturday, a verdict is due in
Mr Mubarak’s trial on charges of murder and corruption, with anger likely to
meet anything less than a heavy sentence.
In the final tally announced yesterday, Mohammed Mursi, leader of the Muslim
Brotherhood front party, the Freedom and Justice Party, won 24.8 per cent of
the votes, slightly ahead of Mr Shafiq with 23.7 per cent.
Behind them came the left-wing nationalist, Hamdeen Sabahi, on 20.7 per cent,
the “moderate Islamist” independent, Abdulmoneim Aboul Fotouh on
17.5 per cent, and the one-time favourite, Amr Moussa, a former foreign
minister and Arab League secretary-general, on 11.1 per cent. Turnout was a
disappointing 46 per cent.
The latter three candidates all claimed to represent the “progressive”
forces that led the revolution, but by splitting that vote they allowed
through the most polarising of Egypt’s political forces.
If Mr Morsi wins, the FJP, which already controls almost half the seats in
parliament, will have the power to push hard-line Islamist social policies
feared by liberals and Christians.
