CAIRO – 6 August 2023: General Coordinator of the National Dialogue Diaa Rashwan stated Sunday that the Recommendations and Proposals Committee is finalizing the phrasing of the three proposals pertaining to the electoral system so they would be submitted to the president of the republic.

 

One of the proposals is keeping the current system allowing the election of half the members of both chambers through closed lists that divide the country into four districts. Another is amending the system so that all members would be elected through open lists dividing the country into 15 districts.

 

The third is amending the system so that 25 percent of members would be elected through closed lists, and 25 percent others would be elected through open lists.

 

Rashwan pointed out that the committee is also finalizing the phrasing of the proposals on establishing an anti-discrimination commission, amending custodianship laws and cooperatives laws.
