Ahmed Shafik, who served as Egyptian prime minister under Hosni Mubarak, will be announced as the winner of the country's presidential runoff election on Sunday evening, Egpytian daily Al-Ahram reported Friday, citing government sources.
Al-Ahram quoted a source in the current Egyptian government as saying Shafik will be declared victor with 50.7 percent of the vote.

All warfare is based on deception. … Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.All part of taqiyyah too. The most believable stuff out of there is the chanting in Tahrir Square about going to Jerusalem to be martyrs, what the presidential candidates say in public about tearing up the Camp David Accords and making Jerusalem the capital of an Islamic Egypt, and other rhetoric along those lines.
Ok. Whatever.
A democratic or a republican form of government just does not work in Muslim countries. There has never been one, so why would anyone think it can work now.
reuters has a livestream
Self-government can only work among virtuous people. The reason the Roman Republic was replaced by the Empire is that the people had become corrupted, and were no longer fit for self-rule.
The Egyptians have NEVER known the level of virtue needed for self-rule. It is not part of their culture, and has never been part of it. They have ALWAYS been ruled over.

“The announcement is late. I wonder if Obama’s proxies are still on the phone threatening dire consequences if the Muslim Brotherhood is not declared the winner?”
Could be! I’m on another site...someone from Switzerland said that MB has won, but it hasn’t been announced.
Many conflicting stories.
Someone from Poland posted this just now....

Dina Demrdash BBC Arabic journalist
says the news conference of the Supreme Presidential Election Commission is only minutes away, as speculations about both Ahmed Shafiq and Mohammed Morsi wins reaches fever pitch ahead of the results. Tahrir square is seeing tens of thousands of pro- Mursi protesters praying for his win. In Nasr City neighborhood, hundereds of Shafiq supporters are awaiting the results. There is a heavy security presence around the homes of both candidates.
Morsi declared winner.
Muslim Brotherhood won, exactly what Obama wanted, the total destruction of Israel
Thanks a lot Obama for helping to destroy another middle east country.
Obama may have to say an extra prayer of thanks to Mecca today. Obama has taken a great step today toward the creation of the Greater Caliphate and the destruction of Israel.
‘Egypt gov’t sources: Shafik to be named president’ (Muslim Brotherhood loses!!!)
ummm no.
