Egypt's Higher Presidential Election Commission will announce the final results of the run-off polling on Sunday, said the election commission's secretary general Hatem Bagato on Saturday.
"Farouq Sultan, head of the election commission, will announce the results of the polling at 3:00 p.m. (1300 GMT) on Sunday," Bagato said in a statement.
Egypt held the run-off of the presidential election last Saturday and Sunday with the two candidates, Muslim Brotherhood' candidate Mohamed Morsi and ex-prime minister Ahmed Shafiq. Both have claimed their victory.
The results had been scheduled to be announced on Thursday. The election commission had to postpone it to complete the reviewing of more than 400 complaints submitted by the two rivals.
The ruling military council affirms they will transfer power to the newly elected president before the end of June. |
