Egypt Muslim Brotherhood 'quits election'

Opposition activists protest in Cairo. 29 Nov

"Egypt's main opposition movement the Muslim Brotherhood says it is withdrawing its candidates from the election run-off, reports say."


         The Islamist party, which is banned but runs candidates as independents backs out of the race due to the fact to them losing all seats in the first round elections. They claim that the election was rigged in  favour of NDP party member President Hosni Mubarak's. One of the Islamist party descibes the election as "scandalous."
