First day of round 2 in House of Representatives election concludes with high turnout

CAIRO - 24 November 2025: The first day of the second round in the House of Representatives’  election concluded Monday at 9 p.m. with noticeably higher turnout.

Several observers attributed the high turnout to revoking the results of 19 electoral districts in the first round due to campaign violations. 

The election will continue Tuesday, with results scheduled to be announced on Tuesday, 2 December.

If runoffs are required, voting abroad will take place on 1–2 December for the first phase and 15–16 December for the second phase.

Meanwhile, runoff elections inside the country, if needed, are set for 3–4 December for the first phase and 17–18 December for the second.

The House of Representatives is composed of 568 elected members, with 284 chosen through the closed-list system and 284 through the individual system, alongside a number of members appointed by the president.

Under the list system, the National List for Egypt, which brings together several political parties including Mostaqbal Watan and Humat Al-Watan, both supportive of government policies, is running unopposed in all four list-based districts.

The list must secure at least 5% of the total valid votes to be declared successful.
