Egypt set to declare constitutional poll result 24 December 2012 Last updated at 05:26 Opposition spokesman Amr Hamzawy: "We are asking the commission to investigate the irregularities" Egypt is due to announce the official results of a referendum on a controversial draft constitution. Early unofficial results suggested more than 60% of voters said "yes" to the document, which is endorsed by Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. But the opposition, which says the draft favours Islamists, is demanding an inquiry into alleged voting fraud. Egypt has seen large and occasionally violent demonstrations by the opposing sides in the past few weeks. If the constitution passes, elections must take place within three months and the deep polarisation in the country is likely to continue, the BBC's Bethany Bell in Cairo reports. In the meantime, legislative powers would remain with President Morsi. Vote for stability Turnout was low, estimated at 30%. But the opposition National Salvation Front said on Sunday the vote had been marred by "fraud and violations." These included polling stations opening late and Islamists seeking to influence voters, they said. Spokesman Amr Hamzawy told a news conference the front as "asking the commission to investigate the irregularities before announcing official results." However, another spokesman, Khaled Daoud, told the BBC the front would not contest the result. The group has complained that there was not enough legal supervision of the referendum, after many judges boycotted the process. But the Freedom and Justice Party, the political wing of Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, said it hoped the "yes" vote would begin to heal divisions and bring stability. It remains to be seen whether the announcement of the final results of the referendum will be delayed to allow an investigation of the opposition's claims, our correspondent says. Critics of the draft constitution fails say it fails to protect the freedoms and human rights that they sought in the uprising that ended Hosni Mubarak's rule last year.
