Police arrested seven Egyptians taking part in a Muslim Brotherhood protest on Friday against what the Islamist opposition group says were rigged legislative elections, a police source said. The banned but tolerated Brotherhood fielded 52 candidates as independents in the first round of the elections on Wednesday. Full official results were yet to be announced, but the Brotherhood says it won four seats. Another 42 of its candidates will go forward to a second round of voting on Tuesday because there was no clear winner in the seats they contested.The Muslim Brotherhood supreme guide Mohammad Mahdi Akef was surprised that the groupâs candidate in Al-Manufiyah entered the second round as he had obtained an estimated 22 thousand votes while the ruling National Democratic Party's candidate only received 8 thousand votes. He denied that the results will dishearten the Brotherhood, âWe await our fate from God. What is happening confirms and shows that the government did not wish at any time to embark on reforms or change as it has alleged.â Commenting on his predictions for the next round of elections, Akef said, âI do not know and it is impossible to predict any good fortune. What the government has done has exceeded what we imagined. We knew they were going to rig the elections and would not allow the will of the people to triumph but we did not imagine they would act on this scale with the world watching and listening.â
