Egypt will hold parliamentary elections on Oct. 24-25 Ibrahim said that in next month"s vote, Egyptians abroad would be able to vote on Oct. 21-23 CAIRO: Egypt will hold parliamentary elections on Oct. 24-25, elections commissioner Lasheen Ibrahim told a televised press conference on Thursday. Egypt last held elections for the House of Representatives in 2015. The chamber is dominated by supporters of President Abel-Fattah El-Sisi, who took power in 2013 after the army removed Islamist President Mohamed Morsi following mass protests against his rule. In 2018 Sisi was re-elected with 97% of votes, the same proportion that the former military commander secured four years ago for his first term but with a lower turnout. In August, Egypt held elections for a newly created Senate, an advisory body. Voter turnout came to only 14.23%, which commentators attributed to the coronavirus pandemic, a lack of awareness about the new chamber, and voter apathy. In April 2019, voters in a referendum approved constitutional changes in a move that could pave the way for El-Sisi to stay in power until 2030, official data showed. Ibrahim said that in next month"s vote, Egyptians abroad would be able to vote on Oct. 21-23.
