Cairo Governor kicked out of polling station for refusing to wait his turn

Voters kicked Cairo Governor Abdel Azim Wazeer out of a Cairo polling station when he insisted on casting his vote during Saturday's constitutional referendum out of turn.

The angry voters chanted against the governor saying, “Those times are past us!” adding that all Egyptians, be they ordinary citizens or officials, are now equal.
 
The voters said interim Prime Minister Essam Sharaf stood in line like any other Egyptian to cast his vote at the Gamal Abdel Nasser School in Dokki.
 
Politicians and intellectuals have cast their votes at several polling stations in Cairo and were not given any preferential treatment.
