The Muslim Brotherhood candidate, Mohammed Morsi, has won enough votes in the first round of Egypt’s presidential elections to make it through to round two, according to partial election results.
The runoff elections will pit the two most popular candidates against each other on June 16-17, with the winner scheduled to be announced June 21. The preliminary results show Morsi’s rival to be Ahmed Shafiq, a member of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s inner circle.
