Rounds one and two are in the books in Egypt's first parliamentary election since the 18-day uprising that unseated Hosni Mubarak ten months ago. Official results will not be announced until after the third round of voting in January, but preliminary results show the Muslim Brotherhood with a commanding lead. After the first round, the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party had secured roughly 40 percent of contested seats while the ultra-conservative Salafi Al-Nour party won almost 25 percent. Here are some images from Egypt's first two rounds of voting.
