not up to date[edit]

It is not up to date anymore. 1.With the coup, the parties who wanted to boytcot the elections did not want this anymore. 2. A lot of changed now.81.58.144.30 (talk) 12:28, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Added comment:

The information in this article is very useful in understanding the events that led to the military coup. The constitutional court dismissed the elected parliament, rejected the law passed by the Shura Council that would have set new elections for June 2013, forcing postponement until October, and now (post coup) has canceled elections indefinitely. The head of the constitutional court now sits as interim president. In additional to a military coup, democracy in Egypt has also suffered a "judicial coup".

In making revisions to wiki, the historical information relating to the judicial coup in Egypt should be retained somewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.152.177.137 (talk) 10:33, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

I've updated it, though as far as I know, the anti-coup coalition hasn't released a statement explicitly saying they will not participate in elections.David O. Johnson (talk) 05:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Number of seats?[edit]

The Egyptian parliament will have 596 total MPs, though only 568 will be elected (per [1]). Which number should we use for the section of the infobox (of each political party) that indicates how many seats that party holds? David O. Johnson (talk) 03:49, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

I'll use the 568 seat total because only those are elected.David O. Johnson (talk) 18:56, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Government party?[edit]

Which is the party supporting the government? Intelligent Mr Toad 2 (talk) 01:51, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
