Sisi declared Egypt president-elect with 96.9% of vote
 

https://s2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/8...e052c1bf4a.jpgEx-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi won 96.9 percent of votes in Egypt's presidential election, the electoral commission an**unced Tuesday, almost a year after he overthrew elected Islamist leader Mohamed Morsi. Tur**ut in last week's election, hastily extended to three days amid fears of low tur**ut, was 47.45 percent, said commission chief Anwar Rashad al-Asi. Sisi's lopsided victory had been certain, with many lauding the retired field marshal as a hero for ending Morsi's divisive rule in July. Yet the lower-than-expected tur**ut -- Sisi himself had urged more voters to come out -- signalled a wide segment of the population was apathetic or boycotted the election.
