The polling stations closed it doors at 9 PM. It is not excited anymore because actually we got political crisis without doubt. There is a low turnout thanks to two important facts : People are indifferent and frustrated, they believe Shafik will come and the weather is extremely hot.

Reporters and journalists had tough day in Egypt especially the foreign correspondents because of Shafik’s supporters. Activists also suffered a lot , some of them were detained and released.
