[20 June 2012] Egypt junta seeks to usurp power - English
An Egyptian NGO known as Judges for Egypt says that Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi has won the country's presidential run-off election.

The Egyptian judges association announced Morsi as the winner on Wednesday, saying it has obtained the results without interference from either candidate's campaigns.

Egyptians cast their ballots in a two-day presidential run-off election on June 16 and 17, which pitted the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, Mohammed Morsi, against former Prime Minister Ahmad Shafiq.

Both candidates in Egypt's presidential election are claiming victory.

Press TV has conducted an interview with Zayd al-Isa, Middle East expert and political commentator from London, to further discuss the issue.
