Egypt-(ENEWSPF)- Egyptians vote for the first time in over three decades, a historic election, although it remains unclear what powers that new president will wield.
Voting in Egypt’s first democratic presidential election has been unfolding peacefully, with election observers and media sources reporting calm lines and few violations in the country’s polling stations.
Thirteen candidates are running to succeed Hosni Mubarak, whose government was brought down by mass protests in 2011 after 30 years of authoritarian rule.
They range from socialists to secular liberals to conservative Islamists, and opinion polls indicate the race remains a toss-up.
