Egyptians are at the polls for the second and final day of a run-off presidential election to choose a successor to Hosni Mubarak, ousted in a revolution last year. But, the choice has left some wondering what the revolution was all about.

State media have been urging more voters to take part in what is being hailed as the nation’s first free presidential election. But disappointment at the choices in the run-off stage has been palpable at the polls. Voter Safinaz Hassan cast her ballot in Cairo with her two daughters. She would not reveal who she preferred, though her lack of enthusiasm about both was clear. “There’s nothing but these two,” she said, referring to former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq and the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi. “May God choose the most capable one.”
