Preliminary results in Egypt's presidential poll suggest the Muslim Brotherhood candidate and a military officer closely linked to the ousted Hosni Mubarak have garnered the most votes. Mohamed Mursi and Ahmed Shafiq could be headed for a run-off poll.

Shafiq was Mubarak's last prime minister. Some Egyptians fear that a victory for him would undermine the change sought by the anti-Mubarak uprising. But a win for Mursi would herald a rule by Islamists.

After long months of struggle, ever since the January uprising last year, uprising leaders are now stuck with a riddle amid the preliminary results of the presidential elections. The results announced by the state news agency stated the lead in the race for Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim brotherhood leader and Mubarak's former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq.

Ezzat Shaaban, Political Analyst, Middle East News Agency, said, "The results of the elections is 100% correct and it represents the Egyptians' will. They wanted to have shafiq and morsi head to the final round and this is the Egyptian will."

Ahmed Maher, Fouder April 6th Political Movement, said, "The Brotherhood have a huge experience in organizing elections and mobilize votes and supporters towards voting unlike most of the other candidates. Shafiq has the support of the former ruling party, state security officers, and corruptive members of former regime and that's why he won."

The results have created confusion among people who didn't want the final race to be between the former regime and neither the Brotherhood. The undecided and boycotters to the upcoming runoff scheduled for the 16th of June seemed to be rising.

"The revolution came for the social justice and the freedom. It created the election and results are a direct outcome of our freedom. Whether Ahmed Shafiq or Mohamed Morsi it will remain to be the people will and freedom. I hope Morsi wins. I am disappointed that the previous regime is joining the race."

"The result seems heading towards the Muslim brotherhood and I don't want the brotherhood to win. I wish Lt general Ahmed Shafiq wins. I voted for Hamden Sabahy and yet the results went to the brotherhood."

"The preliminary result leaving a brotherhood member and a former administration member for the final race and round left the supporters confused. Both contenders now are attracting the losing candidates supporters in order to win this historic race. Sherif el Touny, CCTV, Cairo."
