The results of the first phase of the Egyptian elections has ended and results are projected to be released today. This phase was specifically for the election of representatives in the Egyptian houses of parliament. Elections for the lower houses are set to be completed in January and the elections of the upper houses will proceed from January to March with the presidential election held by June. Some parties have arisen such as the Salafis and the Muslim Brotherhood which may have a big influence in these elections.

I believe that this forward movement in the Egyptian agenda is following a trend in recent revolutionary countries. Tunisia and Turkey alike have recently welcomed moderate Islamic political sects into the government formation; hopefully, this does not take a turn for a worse and leave Egypt in a sorrier state than what it was in before.
ReplyDeleteWhile the people fear that the Military will, in the end, be reluctant to relinquish regent power once the time comes, I feel the opposite. The military is there so the country isn't left in an Anarchist State, and I am confident that once a proper government is installed, they will remove themselves.
