The Muslim Brotherhood has affirmed that 90% of the Egyptian people boycotted the ‘blood ballot’ – the illegitimate presidential election; and regarded the boycott as a slap in the face of the military coup, a sign of the putschists’ imminent downfall.
In a statement, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood said: “With a 90% boycott of the blood ballot – the show presidential election, the Egyptian people have dealt a serious and humiliating blow to the illegitimate coup and its so-called roadmap. This is the beginning of the end of the military coup. We hail the Egyptian People’s resilience and steadfastness. The Egyptian people have turned their back to the sham presidential elections. All the military coup’s begging, pleas and threats have failed. The Egyptian people have thus told the whole world that they will not abandon democratic legitimacy, freedom or dignity.”
