Egypt's High Elections Committee confirmed on Monday that the ruling National Democratic Party won a clear majority in polling for the lower house of parliament, dpa reported.

The announcement came during a press conference in which the committee revealed the results of the second and last round of voting, which took place on Sunday.

Opposition groups, most of which boycotted the second round, won a total of 15 of the 508 seats contested during the elections, which began last week.

Egypt's largest opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, did not win a single seat.
