http://www.euronews.net/ The ballot boxes from Egypt's first parliamentary election since a popular revolt ousted President Mubarak have been sealed and wait to be counted.

Egypt's complex electoral system and numerous candidates did not deter voters from rushing to the polls despite the unrest which marred the election run-up.

The Muslim Brotherhood's party and other Islamists are expected to do well even though modern Egyptian society has a strong secular class.
