整个埃及的抗议者们走上街头,愤怒抗议选举结果。
Protesters have taken to the streets across Egypt, in anger at the election results. Most are wary of both candidates.
Not willing to see the nightmare repeat itself. For many Egyptians, Ahmed Shafiq's advance to the second round of voting provoked strong emotion. To them, the last prime minister under ousted President Hosni Mubarak is representative of the government they fought to overthrow.
But they also don't support Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi.
A protester Mohamed Ahmed says, "We came down to the streets today to protest against the results of the elections. We will not approve if one of the military comes to power again. Also we are against the Brotherhood, we don't agree with either candidate."
Protesters in Alexandria marched towards Shafiq's local campaign office, chanting slogans.
Another protester Khaled Adil says, "Justice is independent. We can't say anything else about justice and we see integrity in the parliamentary elections. But the only thing that we need is a law approved by parliament banning former high-level old regime officials. I don’t want a remnant of the former regime to rule me."
Protesters also took to the streets of Cairo soon after the election commission announced the results. Several hundred protesters gathered in Tahrir Square, the birthplace of last year's unrest.
Protesters there also chanted against both Morsi and Shafiq, saying they will never allow Egypt to be ruled by one party again.
The runoff is a polarising contest.
It mirrors the conflict between Mubarak, himself a career air force officer like Shafiq, and the Islamists he jailed and tortured throughout his years in power.
