MALVEAUX: It's an election that affects the future of Egypt and the stability of the Middle East and North Africa. Egyptians went to the polls over the weekend, and preliminary results show that 64 percent voted in favor of the new constitution. But Egypt's leading opposition party is appealing the results of these latest votes. Ian Lee is reporting from Cairo.</s>IAN LEE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Suzanne, while we're expecting the official results for Egypt's constitution referendum out soon, the battle over the constitution is far from over. The National Salvation Front -- and this is the umbrella organization for the opposition -- has filed two legal challenges. The first one looks at the irregularities they say took place during the two days of voting. The second one attacks the constitutional referendum itself which they call illegal because they say it does not follow the specific guidelines previously set out. We're expecting a ruling on these two cases this week. The opposition is also gearing up for parliamentary elections, which are supposed to take place within two months. In previous elections we've seen the opposition unorganized and divided. This time they say they're going to have a unified front to put as many people as possible in the new parliament so they can change the constitution. While this -- we've seen this political crisis unfold, there's also been an economic crisis. Egypt's economy is in dire straits, and the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist allies are going to need to unite with the opposition if they're going to push through tough austerity measures which are going to be fairly unpopular. Now the two sides don't seem like they're going to unite anytime soon, at least not until this parliamentary election. So the economy is just going to have to wait.
