Bandari told the Bel-Waraqa Wal-Qalam television programme that the NEA Board has been in continuous session reviewing all complaints, and will issue its final decisions alongside the official announcement of results on Tuesday.

He stressed that the NEA is an independent judicial body “not influenced by any entity” and that all rulings are made strictly according to the law.

Appeals under scrutiny
 

Bandari said the appeals include allegations of voter direction, irregular campaigning outside polling stations, and complaints from candidates’ agents about failing to receive numerical tally reports.

Each appeal, he noted, must be supported by documented evidence such as written records or video footage. Some submissions included USB drives with images of alleged violations.

“Not all appeals are necessarily valid,” he said, adding that the Authority is reviewing the materials before issuing decisions.

Possible full or partial reruns
 

If appeals are upheld, Bandari said the NEA could order either a full rerun of voting in an entire district or a partial rerun in specific subcommittees. A supplementary timetable would then be set for any repeat polling.

He emphasized that the Authority’s judicial mandate requires it to address any incident that could affect electoral outcomes.

“We safeguard this trust,” he said. “Every ballot must reflect the true will of the electorate.”

Reaction to El-Sisi’s comments

Bandari also commented on President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi’s statement earlier on Monday, in which he said he was prepared to cancel and rerun elections if violations undermined voter will.

Bandari said the President’s remarks were “appreciated,” but insisted the NEA “already feels the pulse of the street” and is fully engaged with the situation.

El-Sisi said the NEA, as an independent body, must conduct a thorough review of all incidents and appeals and ensure that results reflect the electorate’s genuine choice.

Elections held in two phases
 

Egypt’s parliamentary elections are taking place in two phases. The first phase concluded on 10–11 November across 14 governorates, following overseas voting on 7–8 November.

The second phase begins with overseas voting on 21–22 November, with domestic polling scheduled for 24–25 November in 13 governorates including Cairo.
