Controversy among Egyptian politicians about the time of parliamentary elections
Published in Albawaba on 13 - 10 - 2015

Al-babwbh News- As parliamentary elections approach, according to the road map announced by President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on July 30, 2013, most of Egypt's politicians have a different point of view about holding the elections among the current events.
Some of them think that holding the elections at the present time will bring a parliament doesn't represent people and the targets of January 25 and June 30 revolutions, because it will allow members of National Democratic Party, Mubarak's party, and the Muslim brotherhood to participate in political life, against the public refusal to both of them.
The general coordinator of Social Justice coalitions, Gamal Zahran, told al-Bawabh News that he asks president Sisi to postpone the elections to the next year, to adjust the political conditions for transparent voting, and establish a parliament represents the principles of Egyptian revolution.
Zahran stressed on the necessity to put restrictions against political money, businessmen who use their money to push their candidates to elections, especially the famous businessman, Naguib Sawiris, and the allies of political Islam, like MBs and Salafis.
He affirmed that his coalition is capable of competing in the elections and win all parliament seats, depending on pushing the revolution youth against the remains of NDP and MB.
The coalition's head asked for activating article 74 of 2013 constitution, which states banning parties based on religion from political life, and dissolve them.
Former MP and head of "Egyptian life" party, Mohamed Abu Hamed, asked the supreme committee of elections to activate article 74 as well, mandating president Sisi to take the decision about the time of elections, especially we need to carry on the construction of state's institutions.
He condemned the power of pro-political Islam and political money too, especially they pumped a lot of money to seize the next parliament, like what happened at the elections in 2011.
Hamed added that he doesn't object the candidacy of NDP former members, who never committed political crimes, blaming the current parties for not forming coalitions for elections, because the care only about their interests, as he said.
