Egypt's interim Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab said on Thursday that the government is committed to its promise of impartiality in the 2014 presidential election which saw ex-army chief Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi secure a landslide victory, Al-Ahram's Arabic news website reported.

During his meeting with the head of the African Union's election-monitoring delegation, Mohamed Lemine Ould Guig, Mahlab said that the cabinet was neutral regarding the two candidates and did not interfere in the electoral process, which allowed the vote come "in an exemplary unprecedented form."

Mahlab told Ould Guig that Egypt is looking forward to resuming its activities in the AU after its people voted to choose a president by their own free will, under full judiciary supervision and with regional and international observation.

Egypt was suspended from the AU after the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July amid mass protests against his rule, citing Egypt's need to restore "constitutional order."

Ould Guig thanked the Egyptian government for accommodating the AU delegation, saying that initial reports from his team members indicated the government's impartiality.

In the press conference that the AU delegation head held after the meeting, Ould Guig congratulated the Egyptian people and said the elections process had been organised and well-secured.

He said the delegation of 45 observers in 10 governorates was currently working on its observations and would issue them in a report soon.

El-Sisi won over 95 percent of votes in the 26-28 May election, defeating his only other rival, Nasserist figure Hamdeen Sabahi, who received only slightly more than 3 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results.
