Egypt’s demonstrate after flawed elections
Demonstrations and riots swept across Egypt Monday in protest over allegations of fraud by the ruling party in parliamentary elections, as the opposition said its candidates had been heavily defeated.
Their complaints were backed up by a coalition of local and international rights groups that observed Sunday’s elections and said they had lacked any transparency and were marred by widespread fraud and rigging.
The Muslim Brotherhood and the liberal Wafd party said the initial results indicate they will have little representation in the new parliament. In the past session, the Islamist Brothers held 20 percent of the body’s seats.
