Egypt's ruling party wins most seats in 1st round
President Hosni Mubarak's ruling party has captured nearly all the parliament seats that were decided in a first round of voting, according to results from elections that Egypt's opposition has decried as riddled with violations.
Egypt's largest opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, dismissed the results, which were released Tuesday and which accounted for 43 percent of parliament's 508 seats. The rest will be decided in runoffs on Dec. 5, but the fundamentalist Brotherhood expects to be almost entirely swept out of parliament by what it said was rampant rigging, intimidation and vote-buying, allegations echoed by rights groups.
