Cairo ( CNN ) -- Demonstrators angry that ousted strongman Hosni Mubarak 's former premier will face off against a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt 's presidential runoff have called for more protests Tuesday . On Monday , several thousand protesters in Tahrir Square called on Egyptian courts to disqualify former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik , chanting , `` Where is the revolution ? '' Others ransacked Shafik 's campaign headquarters and set it ablaze after learning that he was one of the two candidates who made it through the first round of voting . The June 16-17 runoff will pit Shafik against Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi . Morsi received 5.7 million votes , followed by Shafik 's 5.5 million , according to Egypt 's election commission . Shafik campaign spokesman Ahmed Serhan said the fire was soon contained and no one was injured . Serhan said that while the anti-Shafik protesters numbered in the dozens , `` supporters in the hundreds are outside the building supporting him . '' In Tahrir Square , the epicenter of the 2011 revolt , the crowd carried Khaled Ali -- a presidential candidate who failed to make the runoff -- on their shoulders while demanding an end to the military government that followed Mubarak . Anti-Shafik protests were also reported in Alexandria and other cities , and revolutionary leaders said they would hold more on Tuesday outside Egypt 's High Court of Justice . Voters ' dilemma : Choice between two tyrants ? In all , 23 million of Egypt 's 50 million eligible voters , or 46 % , cast ballots in the first round of the election . Thirteen candidates appeared on the first-round ballot , though two withdrew from the race after ballots were printed . The winner of the landmark vote will become Egypt 's first freely elected president . Neither of the frontrunners had been favored by the revolutionaries responsible for toppling Mubarak . Morsi is an American-educated engineer who has promised to stand for democracy , women 's rights and peaceful relations with Israel if he emerges as the victor . Still , he 's an Islamist figure who has argued for barring women from the Egyptian presidency and called Israeli leaders `` vampires '' and `` killers . '' Though the Brotherhood played little role in the revolution , its well-honed political machine succeeded in getting its supporters to the polls . Meanwhile , many of those who faced down the Mubarak regime at Tahrir Square did not follow up with the political organizing that would have been needed to gain electoral victory . Shafik , a former air force officer with close ties to Egypt 's powerful military , has attempted to distance himself from Egypt 's deposed leader . He told reporters last week that there 's `` no going back '' to the Mubarak years . Still , he appealed to those who may have had second thoughts about the magnitude of the change that has swept across the country . The uncertainty has had an impact : Last week , the Cairo stock market plunged by 3 % in a single day . Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter , who led a delegation observing the voting , told reporters last week in Cairo that he could n't say `` the entire process has been proper '' because of restraints on observers . But the group found the election period to be peaceful , with citizens accepting the voting process as `` quite successful . '' `` There were many violations , and I think each violation is serious . But I think collectively they did not affect the basic integrity of the election , '' he said . Carter said there were no apparent patterns in election procedures that `` favored a particular candidate . '' Mubarak led the North African nation for 30 years before being forced out last year amid a popular outcry that marked one of the seminal developments of the Arab Spring . Distrust and anger in Egypt , particularly against the military 's power in governmental affairs , have inspired continued protests , some of which have been marked by deadly clashes . Many protesters are upset about what they see as the slow pace of reform since Mubarak 's ouster . Some are also concerned that the country 's military leadership is delaying the transition to civilian rule . The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has insisted that it will hand over power to an elected civilian government . In January , two Islamist parties -- the Freedom and Justice Party with 235 seats and the conservative Al Nour party with 121 seats -- won about 70 % of the seats in the lower house of parliament in the first elections for an elected governing body in the post-Mubarak era . The rest of the assembly 's 498 seats were divided among other parties . CNN 's Ben Wedeman and journalist Mohamed Fadel Fahmy contributed to this report .
