Egypt extends election to third day amidst low turnout reports
The authorities in Egypt have extended voting in the presidential election to a third day, following reports of an unexpectedly low turnout so far.
The clear frontrunner is the former head of the army, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, who ousted the elected President Mohammed Morsi last year.
His only challenger is the leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi.
