Members of different political parties met on Tuesday to discuss creating a committee to be assigned with coordinating between the government and parties, local media reported. Around 21 representatives of different political parties attended the meeting, which will be held at the headquarters of Al-Wafd Party. The members are also scheduled to meet next Tuesday to draft an agreement to activate the role of parties and push the state to develop solutions to problems. The representatives of political parties met last Tuesday, after President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi urged political parties to unify to merge along similar ideological lines to produce fewer entities. “The activation of democracy will not come unless we are two, three, or four parties at the most,” he said.
