Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh’s campaign called on the Presidential Elections Committee to halt the announcing of the final results as documented violations invalidate the entire process, Al-Masry Al-Youm reported.

The unofficial results circulated through different media outlets indicate that Aboul Fotouh has been removed from the race, while Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Mursi and former Mubarak-man Ahmed Shafiq are competing in the second round scheduled for mid-June.

Media coordinator of Aboul Fotouh’s campaign Ali El-Bahnasawy said that their call is a result of violations detected and proven through official documents – that make the election invalid.

Bahnasawy listed down the reasons:

1-      Registering deceased citizens as voters.

2-      Disallowing representatives from being present as sorting votes took place.

3-      Starting the sorting process earlier than scheduled.

4-      Absence of some judges as polling took place.

5-      Mistakes in the databases of voters.

6-      Staff telling voters what candidates to choose.

7-      Staff filling out voting cards and inserting them into ballot boxes.

8-      Failing to properly identify certain voters.

9-      Failing to document spare voting cards.

10-   Voters signing in two different voter records.

11-   Voting without the right to vote, conscripts, etc.

12-    Buying votes.
