Runoff of the first phase of the parliamentary elections will be held in nine Egyptian governorates today December 5. Cairo, Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said, Red Sea, Kafr el- Sheikh, Asyut, Luxor and Fayoum will have polling stations ready for the voters.

It is going to be a matter of whether the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) will sweep the runoffs or an electoral fight will stay as dispute between political forces.

There will be a total of 45 FJP candidates participating in the runoffs today.

Meanwhile those who won the first phase in the elections, such as Amr Hamzawi, Akram al-Shaer and Mostafa el-Barry already have their parliamentary membership cards. They completed their personal data in People’s Assembly hall.

The competition between the FJP and al-Nour Salafi Party is very tough.

On the other side, the Judges’ Club announced the military council is about is issue a decree to count the ballots in sub-polling stations rather than general polling stations during the second and third phases of elections.
