Egyptians vote in landmark presidential election

Egyptians vote in landmark presidential election

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-18167224

"Egyptians are voting in their first free presidential election, 15 months after ousting Hosni Mubarak in the Arab Spring uprising.

Fifty million people are eligible to vote, and large queues have formed at some polling stations.................."

A number of candidates and to avoid a runoff the leader needs to get 50%.

If not it goes to a runoff June 16 & 17.

I think the top vote getter is going to be an Islamist and somebody else - but both below 50%. In the runoff the Islamist is going to cream the other guy.
