Egypt's presidential race is almost certainly heading toward a runoff vote, according to unofficial results so far. The consensus is that Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi was the top vote-getter in the first round, with 30.8% of votes counted so far, on the second place is the former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq with 22.3%.

According to Higher Presidential Election Commission (HPEC), the results of the first round of voting are expected next Tuesday. If no one of the 12 candidate gets a majority of the vote in the first round, a second round will be held next month on the 16th and 17th. It is unlikely to have an outright winner in the first round so Morsi and Shafiq will complete in a run-off.
