Muslim Brotherhood urges Egypt to vote
BBC NEWS | Middle East | Muslim party urges Egypt to vote: "One of Egypt's main political groups, the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, has urged its supporters not to boycott next month's presidential election.
The Muslim Brotherhood is the only opposition organisation which has broad public support.
A call for a boycott could have led to a low turnout, as well as undermining the credibility of the country's first multi-candidate presidential poll.
The issue has split an already weak and fragmented opposition in Egypt."
