Egypt’s Expat Voted For Abou Al Fotouh

Results of Egyptian expatriates’ polls which are streaming in from around the world, show that former Muslim Brotherhood (MB) member, Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, is leading the polls overseas.

The poll results come ahead of next week’s presidential elections which will be the first in the post-revolution nation. 

Presidential campaign is still underway in Egypt, where 13 candidates are competing in the country’s first presidential election since the downfall of the country’s former long-time dictator, Hosni Mubarak, in 2011. 

Aboul Fotouh along with former Arab League chief, Amr Moussa, leader of the Dignity Party, Hamdeen Sabbahi, and chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party, Mohammed Mursi, are viewed as frontrunners in the landmark election. 

Egyptian people will go to the polls on May 23-24 to choose the country’s president. 

The ruling Supreme Council of Armed Forces is expected to hand over power to the civilian government on June 30, according to Press TV.
