The official MENA news agency reported that more than 90 per cent of Egyptians approved the country's new draft constitution in a referendum, citing preliminary results on Thursday.
MENA said that vote counting was underway to reach the final results supposed to be submitted to the High Election Commission (HEC).
"The constitution will be approved by winning at least over 50 per cent of the vote and the result of the referendum is scheduled to be announced within 72 hours.
"A two-day voting process on the new constitution ended on Wednesday.
"The new charter, which is to replace the previous one mainly drafted by former President Mohamed Morsi's allies in late 2012, represents a prior stage in the country's future roadmap,’’ MENA said
