Egypt's ruling National Democratic Party wiped out its Islamist opponents from parliament in the first round of a disputed election, according to official results released Tuesday. The electoral commission dismissed claims of fraud made by the Muslim Brotherhood, which failed to win a single seat while the ruling NDP took 209 of 221 seats available in the first round of voting. Local monitors and human rights groups which monitored the poll backed up opposition complaints that the vote was "rigged and invalid."Duration: 01:58
