Several revolutionary forces have voiced mistrust in the Egyptian presidential run-off, which is going to be held under the current military rule, Press TV reports.

A press conference was held by revolutionary forces on Sunday to announce the inauguration of Mobteloon Campaign (those who delegitimize votes), which called to annul votes in the election under the supervision of the junta.

The event was chaired by activists Mohamed Ghoneim and Mahmoud El-Hetta as well as human rights campaigner Ghada Shahbander.

"No to new constitution under the military rule. We also say no to election under the military rule. We completely reject that. We want a democratic country," Mohammed Attia, a revolutionary activist, told a Press TV correspondent in Cairo.

Many Egyptians believe that the ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak's last premier Ahmed Shafiq, who is running in the second round, is the undeclared candidate of the military council, and that the military-appointed election committee overseeing the election will forge the results in favor of Shafiq.

A revolutionary activist told Press TV that he thinks the junta is taking Egyptians back to the Mubarak regime era by engineering Shafiq’s victory in the June 16-17 election in which Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi will face Shafiq.

Thousands of Egyptians have held demonstrations across the country against Shafiq’s candidature, demanding that the Mubarak era remnant be barred from running for the president.

Earlier in the day, early results showed that Morsi won 63 percent of the country’s expatriate votes.

The preliminary results came as ballots are being counted in 38 countries.

Polls show that more than 300,000 Egyptians living outside their country have cast their ballots in the run-off, with Morsi being ahead of Shafiq.
