Egyptian poll

PARTIAL results from a third of Egypt’s provinces yesterday showed massive turnout and a vote overwhelmingly in favour of constitutional changes that eliminate restrictions on political rights and civil liberties.

The count from most of the country, including Cairo, was still to be released.

But according to results issued, 11 of 29 provinces showed 65% to 90% of voters saying “yes” to the changes, which would allow parliament and presidential votes no later than September.
