The expected formation of Egypt's new cabinet has been held up after several candidates turned down offers of ministerial positions from Prime Minister Ibrahim Melheb, two government sources said on Sunday.

Melheb is forming a new government following President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's election victory last month. He had not been expected to make sweeping changes, and officials had said he would unveil his new cabinet on Sunday.

But government sources said on Sunday evening the premier was still trying to fill several portfolios.

Presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah delivered an impassioned, game-changing speech at a press conference in Kabul late Sunday night. Abdullah said he would not accept the results of Saturday's election unless the Independent Election Commission's (IEC) Chief Electoral Officer, Zia-ul-Haq Amarkhail, is suspended and a full investigation into his possible involvment in electoral fraud is conducted.

Officials from the Ministry of Interior (MoI) and Ministry of Defense (MoD) have highlighted their success in preventing militants from disrupting this year's election process following Saturday's presidential runoff vote.

Early Saturday morning both presidential candidates, Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani-Ahmadzai, headed to the polls to cast their votes in the first second-round elections.

After Dr. Abdullah cast his ballot at Istiqlal High School in Kabul, he addressed the public and election officials asking the Afghan government and electoral commissions to perform their duties responsibly and effectively. He asserted that his team will not tolerate a fraudulent process.
