But Morsi’s narrow margin of victory (just 3.5 percentage points) over Shafiq, and low voter turnout – 46.4% in the first round and 51.8% in the second – reflect a polarized, exhausted society that lacks confidence in the electoral process and the candidates. Moreover, the outcome has merely fueled further uncertainty about Egypt’s direction.
但穆尔西对莎菲克的胜势并不大（只有3.5个百分点），投票率也很低（第一轮为46.4%，第二轮为51.8%），这反映出一个极端化、筋疲力尽的社会对选举程序和候选人缺乏信心。此外，大选结果只能进一步增加埃及发展方向的不确定性。
