WITH a low turnout, Egypt's newly-written draft constitution garnered about 64 percent of the votes in a two-round referendum, a TV channel run by the Muslim Brotherhood said today.
The unofficial data, collected by the the Muslim Brotherhood which backs President Mohamed Morsi, suggested that about 71.4 percent who voted yesterday approved the constitution, while 56.5 percent of voters supported it in the first round of the voting on Dec. 15.
Voter turnouts in both rounds were about 32 percent and 30 percent, respectively.
It will be several days before the official results come out. When they do, a parliamentary election would be held within two months.
