CAIRO, Jan 18 (Aswat Masriya) Egypt’s Supreme Judicial Committee for Elections will announce the final results of last week’s constitutional referendum on Saturday.

Egyptians voted on a new constitution on Tuesday and Wednesday in a referendum seen by the government and majority of Egyptians as a step forwards towards democracy, but by Islamists and some activists, who boycotted the vote, as illegitimate.

Preliminary results have shown that most voters said “yes” to the constitution that was amended to replace another written by an Islamist-led assembly under the Mohamed Mursi administration.

The army ousted Mursi in July in response to mass demonstrations, suspended his constitution and called for early parliamentary and presidential elections.

According to a Reuters report published earlier today, Egypt’s interim president is expected to call for presidential elections upon the announcement of the final results of the referendum.
