A parliamentary vote, if the referendum result is confirmed, could now take place as early as September.
“The preliminary indication of the result a few hours before the official announcement is that turn out nears 60 percent and 70 percent voted ‘yes’, 4 percent were invalid votes and 26 percent said ‘no’,” a judiciary source told Reuters.
The Muslim Brotherhood and remnants of former President Hosni Mubarak’s ruling party called for a ‘yes’ vote, and analysts said they would benefit most from an early parliamentary election. Reformers urged a ‘no’ vote saying they wanted the constitution re-written.
