Egypt’s state Television has said that there will be a delay in announcing the outcome of the country’s Presidential elections.

The results of the second stage of the elections were expected on Thursday.

However, the Supreme Elections Commission said it was still reviewing complaints from the main candidates, Ahmed Shafiq, the former PM of the last President of Egypt, and Mohamed Morsi, from the Muslim Brotherhood.

And in a separate development, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been moved from prison to an army hospital in Cairo, where he remains in a critical condition. He is said to have had a series of strokes and to be on a life support machine. Reports that he was “clinically dead” have been denied. But there has been no official statement.
