Egypt's Islamists Claim Sweep of Second Round Vote
(Reuters) Marwa Awad and Tamim Elyan - Egypt's two leading Islamist parties said on Sunday their separate party lists secured about three-quarters of votes cast in the second round of a parliamentary election, extending their lead. The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party said it expected to win about 40% percent of votes, while the ultra-conservative Salafi al-Nour Party said its list received about 35%, up from 24% in the first round.
