Egypt's presidential election was conducted 'in line with the law' but lacked participation of some 'stakeholders'.
The comment was made by a European Union (EU) team that observed Egypt's presidential election.
Egypt's ex-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who toppled Islamist president Mohamed Morsi last year, won 96 percent of votes in preliminary results from the three-day election.
According to news24, the EU observer mission's chief, Mario David, said that Egypt's presidential election was administrated in line with the law, in an environment falling short of constitution principles.
David added that freedoms of association, assembly and expression are areas of concern, including in the context of this election.
The EU mission said the election was held in a 'peaceful and calm manner' with 'only minor procedural problems and a limited number of violations'.
