CAIRO: Egypt’s opposition Muslim Brotherhood will contest 27 seats in a run-off parliamentary vote next week, the group said on Tuesday, meaning it cannot come close to the 88 seats it had in the previous assembly.

“The number of Brotherhood candidates who will contest the run-off is 27,” Gamal Nassar, a spokesman for the group told Reuters. The group earlier said it won no seats outright in Sunday’s first round vote that the Brotherhood said was rigged. AGENCIES
