Calon ikhwanul muslimin menang pilihanraya presiden mesir


Calon dari parti Ikhwanul Muslimin, Dr Mohamed Morsi berjaya menewaskan bekas perdana menteri, Ahmed Shafiq yang juga calon pro bekas presiden Mesir, Hosni Mubarak sebentar tadi.

Menurut laman web The Washington Post, Dr Morsi memperolehi 51.8 peratus undi berbanding Ahmed sebanyak 48.1 peratus undi daripada jumlah keseluruhan 24.6 juta undi yang dibuang dalam pilihanraya presiden pusingan kedua ini.

Keputusan rasmi hanya akan dikeluarkan selewatnya pada Jumaat ini tetapi dengan perbezaan undi yang sangat besar iaitu melebihi sejuta antara kedua-dua calon, Ahmed tidak mampu lagi mengatasi jumlah undi yang diperolehi Dr Morsi.

Bekas presiden Hosni Mubarak yang digulingkan pada 11 Februari tahun lalu sedang menjalani hukuman penjara seumur hidup di Alexandria, pastinya terpaksa menerima keputusan ini dengan berat hati.

Dalam satu sidang media menjelang malam tadi waktu Mesir, Ikhwanul Muslimin menyifatkan ia satu kemenangan rakyat sekaligus menolak kuasa pemerintahan tentera yang dilaksanakan sejurus selepas parlimen dibubarkan oleh Mahkamah Agung pada Jumaat lalu sehingga pilihanraya presiden pusingan kedua berlangsung semalam.


Brotherhood claims victory in Egypt president election as military grabs lion’s share of power

CAIRO — The Muslim Brotherhood declared early Monday that its candidate, Mohammed Morsi, won Egypt’s presidential election, even as the military handed themselves the lion’s share of power over the new president, enshrining their hold on the state and sharpening the possibility of confrontation with the Islamists.

With parliament dissolved and martial law effectively in force, the generals made themselves the country’s lawmakers, gave themselves control over the budget and will determine who writes the permanent constitution that will define the country’s future.

Faced with a choice between Hosni Mubarak’s ex-prime minister and an Islamist candidate, Egyptians entered their latest round of elections in an atmosphere of suspicion, resignation and worry.

But as they claimed victory over Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq in the election, the Brotherhood challenged the military’s power grab. The group warned that it did not recognize the dissolution of parliament or the military’s interim constitution — or its right to oversee the drafting of a new one.

That pointed to a potential struggle over spheres of authority between Egypt’s two strongest forces. The Brotherhood has campaigned on a platform of bringing Egypt closer to a form of Islamic rule, but the military’s grip puts it in a position to block that. Instead any conflict would likely center on more basic questions of power.

At a pre-dawn press conference Monday declaring their win, officials from the fundamentalist group that was banned for decades and repeatedly subjected to crackdowns under Mubarak’s rule were ebullient and smiling, as supporters chanted, “Down with military rule.”

“Thank God who guided the people of Egypt to this right path, the path of freedom and democracy,” Morsi told the crowd at his campaign headquarters in his first appearance since the victory claim. He promised to “to Egypt in all its factions, Muslims and Christians” to “be a president for all Egyptians ... a servant to them” and seek a “civil, democratic, constitutional and modern state.”
