President Hosni Mubarak: Votes

Opinion Polls Dept: With no reliable opinion polls, no one knows who will win the presidency, but Egyptians revelled in the uncertainty after the routinely rigged votes of Mubarak s 30 years in power, according to The Star. There were no early reports of vote-related violence and cAIRO Egyptians queued patiently to vote on Wednesday, eager to pick their leader for the first time in a national history dating to the pharaohs, with Islamists and secular-minded rivals who served under deposed President Hosni Mubarak heading the field. We must prove that the times when we stayed at home and someone would choose for us are over, said Islam Mohamed, a 27-year-old swimming coach, waiting at a Cairo polling station.
