Egyptians are voting in the third round of parliamentary elections as prosecutors begin to present their case in the trial of former President Hosni Mubarak.
The final stage of the vote, the first since Mubarak was ousted in February, covers nine provinces including the North and South Sinai governorates.
Almost a year after the revolt against Mubarak began, it is still unclear what power an elected parliament will have or how a new government will be constituted. The assembly is due to hold its first session on Jan. 23. Presidential elections are scheduled to be held by the end of June.
“The new parliament will witness political struggles between the military council, the Brotherhood and Salafis, and the revolutionary forces.
