Nine months after the end of Hosni Mubarak’s autocratic rule, Egyptians today voted in the first post-revolution Parliamentary polls clouded by violence and a political crisis, hoping to usher in democracy in the Arab world’s most populous nation.
The three-phase election, which follows deadly clashes between pro-democracy protesters and riot police, is the first step towards transfer of power to the civilian rule, promised by the ruling military council, headed by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, that replaced Mubarak following a popular uprising in February.
