412: Red Square Patch
Egypt Presidential Election and Muslim Brotherhood Lead
Initial results from the Egyptian presidential election show Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi in the lead, followed by former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq. This outcome contradicts early Western media predictions that the Brotherhood would remain a marginal political force. The potential for a religious-led government in Egypt raises significant questions about the future of regional stability and the "Arab Spring" movement.
