Speaking at a press conference, Badawi explained that the NEA’s decision was made in accordance with the Law on the Exercise of Political Rights.
He noted that the authority had detected several violations, including electioneering outside polling stations, the failure to provide candidates or their representatives with copies of the vote count, and discrepancies between the vote totals reported by sub-polling stations and the main polling stations.
Badawi described these violations, which took place in Giza, Fayoum, Assiut, Sohag, Qena, Alexandria, and Beheira, as fundamental flaws that undermine the integrity and legitimacy of the voting and counting procedures.
According to Badawi, elections for these constituencies will be held abroad on 1-2 December, and domestically on 3-4 December.
Results will be announced on 11 December.
In case of run-offs, voting will be held abroad on 24-25 December, and domestically on 27-28 December.
Final results will be announced on 4 January, 2026.
During the presser, Badawi reiterated the NEA’s commitment to continue its role in creating a democratic environment for conducting the second phase of the 2025 House of Representatives elections.
He said the authority will continue to enforce effective oversight of electoral campaigning, voting, and counting procedures to ensure they remain within the legal framework.
The NEA head called on all participants in the electoral process-parties, candidates, and voters-to adhere to the Constitution, the law, and the rules set by the authority, placing the interest of the nation above all else.
Badawi affirmed that the authority remains committed to neutrality, equality, transparency, and applying the highest international standards in managing the electoral process, in order to achieve the true will of the voters.
On Monday, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi urged the NEA to exercise “full diligence” in reviewing incidents reported in several constituencies witnessing tight races between individual candidates, and to take decisions that “faithfully reveal the true will of the voters.”
President El-Sisi’s remarks come amid a wave of complaints and appeals filed after the first phase of the House elections, particularly in constituencies marked by close competition among individual candidates.
In response, Badawi said the NEA would take the appropriate decisions regarding these incidents, emphasizing that all options remain on the table, including cancelling the elections in an entire constituency if violations are confirmed in any of its polling stations.
Later on Monday, the NEA Executive Director, Ahmed Bandari, said that the authority received 88 appeals across 70 electoral districts in 14 governorates, with 34 districts currently subject to challenges.
