Egypt Islamists seen winning near two-thirds of seats
The Muslim Brotherhood said on Saturday it had won at least 41% of the seats in Egypt's lower house of parliament, with Islamists of various stripes occupying almost two thirds of the assembly so far.
Banned under deposed President Hosni Mubarak, the Brotherhood has emerged as a major winner from the uprising that toppled him, exploiting a well-organised support base in the first free legislative vote in decades. (Reuters)
