Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt in three stages between 18 October and 8 November 2000.[1] The result was a victory for the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP), which won 388 of the 454 seats (after 35 of the 72 independents joined the NDP), while the banned Muslim Brotherhood came in a distant second with 17 seats (as independents), and the remaining opposition parties taking 16 seats.[2]
The election was broken into stages after a July ruling by the Supreme Constitutional Court that judges must monitor all polling stations. The first stage on 18 October was held in 150 seats in northern Egypt, the second stage took place on 28 October for 134 seats in eastern and southern Egypt, and the third stage on 8 November involved the 156 seats in central Egypt, including Cairo. Two seats in Alexandria were left vacant after the results were annulled by a court.[1]
Results
Seventeen of the 72 independents were members of the Muslim Brotherhood.[1]
