Egypt's Supreme Electoral Commission (SEC) decided to review an appeal submitted by ex-presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq on June 25 over the results of the presidential elections, State-run Ahram Online reported on Saturday.
Shafiq, who lost the last round in the race of Egypt's first democratic presidential elections, has submitted a request to the SEC on 21 May, 2013, to appeal on the commission decision to announce the success of Morsi.
Shafiq asked for urgently halting the decision until revealing the results of the current interrogations, and finishing the investigations over an alleged fraud process, along with reviewing a report issued by the expert commission to examine all documents.
The last prime minister of the former regime, who now resides in United Arab Emirates (UAE), recently announced his tentative intention to team up with the National Salvation Front (NSF), Egypt's main opposition bloc, against the powerful Muslim Brotherhood.
Morsi got 51.73 percent of the votes in the presidential elections in 2012, defeating his rival Ahmed Shafiq, who got 48.27 percent.
