The full election results are expected nexty week
Tensions
have been rising between some of the main candidates in Egypt's
presidential elections as polls near a close on the second day of
voting.
Amr Moussa and Ahmed Shafiq have traded accusations, saying
false rumours are being spread that each is about to withdraw from the
hotly contested race.
Other candidates have also been accused of breaking "election silence" rules.
Amid reports of a patchy turnout, polling was extended for an hour in Egpyt's first free presidential polls.
Polls will now close at 21:00 local time (19:00 GMT).
The elections pit Islamists against secularists, and revolutionaries against Mubarak-era ministers.
