The 19 constituencies, located in seven governorates, were recontested by 446 candidates competing for 41 seats after NEA decisions and court rulings invalidated earlier results from the first phase of the 2025 parliamentary elections.
The constituencies include Imbaba in Giza; Fayoum and Ibshway in Fayoum; Al-Fateh in Assiut; Sohag, Akhmim, Al-Maragha, Tahta, Girga, Al-Mansha’a, and Dar Al-Salam in Sohag; Qena, Qus, Nagaa Hammadi, and Abu Tesht in Qena; First Al-Raml in Alexandria; and Damanhour, Abu Hummus, and Itay Al-Baroud in Beheira.
NEA head Judge Hazem Badawy said the state is completing an important constitutional requirement “under close public follow-up,” stressing that forming the next parliament reflects “the will of Egyptians.”
Speaking at a press conference at the authority’s headquarters to announce the results for the 19 annulled constituencies and the Itsa constituency, which remained valid after legal challenges, Badawy said all actors in the electoral process remain committed to the rules and procedures set by the NEA.
He noted that despite the multiple electoral rounds required by NEA decisions and High Administrative Court rulings, the process is continuing with strong public participation.
Egypt’s 2025 House of Representatives elections are being held in two phases under the supervision of the NEA, the independent body mandated by the constitution to manage and oversee all elections.
The NEA can annul results in constituencies where major procedural or legal violations are found to have affected the vote, an authority it used extensively during the first phase.
In November, the High Administrative Court upheld several challenges to the results in multiple constituencies, ruling that irregularities had influenced the outcomes.
These rulings required the NEA to rerun elections in 19 constituencies across seven governorates, many of which were among the most competitive races in the first phase.
President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi has repeatedly stressed that the parliamentary elections are a key constitutional step and that the state is committed to ensuring citizens choose their representatives freely and securely through a process that reflects the rule of law.
Earlier on Thursday, a senior security official at the Ministry of Interior told the Middle East News Agency (MENA) that security forces arrested 84 people on the first day of voting for allegedly trying to influence voters in favour of certain candidates.
The source said those detained were found with campaign cards and money intended for distribution to voters near polling stations in Minya, Beheira, Luxor, Sohag, Alexandria, Gharbia, Assiut, Aswan, and New Valley.
He said legal measures had been taken, the Public Prosecution had begun an investigation, and security forces would “continue to act firmly against any attempt to disrupt the vote or interfere with voters’ choices.”
The rerun vote, involving 623 candidates competing for 58 seats, is held on 10–11 December. First-round results will be announced on 18 December.
Run-offs, if needed, will take place abroad on 31 December–1 January and inside Egypt on 3–4 January, with final results due on 10 January.
