The presidential campaign of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) candidate Mohamed Morsi announced on their official website that with 90 per cent of the total votes across Egypt's governorates counted, Morsi is still leading the race.

The campaign said that "according to the numbers we have" they can confirm that the run-off will be between the Brotherhood leader Morsi and Mubarak's last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq.

FJP leaders and representatives from Morsi's campaign will hold a press conference on Friday evening to announce the latest updates, with time and place to be announced later Friday.
