Islamists ahead as Egypt vote enters final leg, Reuters (2012)

In this news article, Islamists aimed to cement control over Egypt's lower house of parliament as a final phase of voting began on Tuesday (10 Jan), while a secular party's plan to boycott elections for the upper chamber threatened to weaken the liberal bloc. Islamists of various stripes are expected to win 60 percent of the 498 elected seats in the assembly's lower house, with the Brotherhood taking some 41 percent, by its own count.
