A large majority of Egyptians have said yes to a constitutional change in the referendum held yesterday, according to preliminary results. A judicial source has reported that over 60% of voters approved the reforms that opened the door to early elections. According to estimates, 27 million Egyptians (about 60% of those invited) attended yesterday at the polls in an historic vote.
"The first signs of results, a few hours of their announcement, indicate that between 60 and 70% have voted yes, four percent of the votes were not valid and 26% voted no, according to judicial sources . Egyptians voted yesterday amendments to the Constitution proposed by a committee of experts formed by the current military government in what was the first taste of democracy for which thousands of citizens fought 18 days in the streets across the country from the past January 28 and February 11, the day Mubarak stepped down after 30 years.
In an unusual image in a country accustomed to electoral fraud, the polls showed very long queues in which citizens of every political and religious awaited turn. Hundreds of people voted at the foot of the pyramids, in the same place that just four months the volunteers of the National Democratic Party (NDP) Mubarak blocked the way to voters who would not give his vote or write down numbers DCI of people who came in trucks and then fill in their ballots themselves in exchange for a small fee in Egyptian pounds.
Some 45 million Egyptians were called to vote on some amendments whose main amendments relate to the figure of the president and, once approved, will allow independent nomination. Something that favors the Muslim Brotherhood, the most organized opposition movement, one of whose members took part in the commission of wise reforms, and have made an intensive campaign to achieve the self.
As the remains of the missing NDP. On the side were not the main opposition parties and the Nobel Peace Prize and opposition leader, Mohamed ElBaradei, who was stoned by a group of thugs when he went to vote. Could not vote at school that belonged to it, and went to other reports. The secretary general of the Arab League, Amr Musa, rejects the reforms and wants a new constitution and, like El Baradei, announced that it will run for the presidency.
