Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on 24–25 October and 7–8 November 2020 to elect the House of Representatives.[1] The election resulted in a landslide victory for the Nation's Future Party, winning 316 of the 596 seats.
Date
[edit]The elections were initially expected to be held in April or May 2020.[2] President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi ordered parliament to freeze its activities on 1 October 2019 and placed the National Security Agency (NSA) in charge of creating lists of candidates as the General Intelligence Directorate (GID) had not satisfactorily selected candidates in the previous election.[3] The For the Love of Egypt list was closely associated with the GID.[4]

Parties
[edit]One alliance that will contest the election, called the National Unified Coalition, includes the Nation's Future Party, New Wafd Party, the Homeland Defenders Party, Modern Egypt Party, the Egyptian Social Democratic Party, the Republican People's Party, the Reform and Development Misruna Party, Tagammu, the Generation's Will, the Egyptian Freedom, the Justice, and the Congress Party parties.[5] Other lists include the Call of Egypt and the Sons of Egypt.[6]
Many different figures, including Zyad Elelaimy, Hisham Fouad, Omar El-Shenety and Hossam Moanis, were arrested on 25 June 2019 on charges of "bringing down the state"; however, the people involved were part of an alliance called the Coalition of Hope that was considering contesting the parliamentary election.[7] Other organizations involved in the alliance included the Civil Democratic Movement.[8] One source indicated that the reason for the arrests was the unwillingness of the alliance to cooperate with the NSA.[3] They were subsequently convicted in 2021 and given prison sentences.[9]
