Egypts parliamentary elections face significant disruptions as over a quarter of constituencies see cancellations due to documented violations. The National Elections Authority announces cancellations following appeals, citing issues like electoral advertisements near polling stations and discrepancies in vote tallies. President Sisi urges thorough investigations and potential reruns to ensure transparency. The National List for Egypt, largely pro-government, clears the five percent threshold, securing many seats. Turnout for the first round was around twenty-three percent, with the second round scheduled for next week, leaving questions about the final parliament composition and electoral integrity.
