CAIRO, Muharram 12, 1433, Dec 7, 2011, SPA - The Freedom and Justice Party said Wednesday it had won a majority of the seats up for grabs in Egypt's run-off elections, which would give it at least 40 percent of the seats in parliament decided thus far. The Freedom and Justice Party said in a statement that it won 36 of the 56 seats awarded to individual candidates in voting which concluded on Tuesday. The Freedom and Justice Party won almost 37 percent of the vote in earlier polling, which awarded seats according to party lists. Al-Nour Party has come in second after the Freedom and Justice Party, winning nearly a quarter of the ballots cast in the late November vote for party lists, according to a report of the Associated Press. --SPA 14:03 LOCAL TIME 11:03 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/950255
