This is exactly what the National Election Authority did, when it announced the timetable on January 8, 2018, as per the constitution.Moreover, in April 2016, the government finalized the National Election Authority Bill, which was submitted to the Legislation Department in the State Council for review, upon the Cabinet’s approval. Articles 208, 209 and 210 of the 2014 Constitution detail the National Election Authority’s competences and how it is formed. The number of seats parties could get in the Parliament ranges from one to 65, with Al-Misriyeen Al-Ahrar Party (Free Egyptians Party) holding 65 seats. Observers of Egyptian parties can easily notice that they are plagued with internal political conflicts over power. It is also the roadmap for the future of Egypt, through which the government’s medium-term program until June 2018 is executed.
