Egypt to hold parliamentary elections starting in March

Cairo, January 9, AZERTAC

Egypt is to hold parliamentary elections in two phases starting on 22-23 March, its election commission says.

The polls are the final step of the transitional political roadmap outlined by the military in July 2013 after it overthrew President Mohammed Morsi.

Parties and candidates loyal to his successor, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, are expected to dominate.

Egypt has been without its main chamber of parliament since 2012, when a court dissolved the House of Representatives.

Its powers were transferred to the consultative Shura Council pending fresh elections, but Mr Morsi was ousted before they could be held.

The Shura Council was then dissolved by the interim authorities before a new constitution approved last January did away with it altogether. Since then, the president has held all legislative powers.

On Thursday, the Higher Election Commission said the first phase of the polls for the House of Representatives would take place on 22-23 March and the second phase on 26-27 April.
