"Jad Al-Karim" added, in exclusive statements to "Vito", today, Wednesday, that the second phase of the elections also witnessed the disappearance of the features of the systematic fraud that Egypt was witnessing before the glorious January revolution, and this is the result of a real societal will that is unwilling to go back.
