The run off, slated for the 16 and 17 June 2012, will see the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate Mohamed Morsy compete for the top executive post with former Prime Minister Ahmad Shafiq. For many, that doesn't leave much of a choice and a boycott seems to be the best option. That's mainly because in the first round of the election, nearly 9 million, or 40% of voters, voted for Hamdeen Sabbahi and Abouel Fotouh, who came third and fourth respectively. Those who opted for them are perceived as voters whose political opinion is averse to Islamists and remnants of the Mubarak régime, in other words the revolutionaries.
