NEA Chairman Judge Hazem Badawy said the electoral process lasted 99 days and resulted in the election of 568 members of parliament, completing the formation of the new lower house.

The announcement followed the conclusion of runoff elections in 27 electoral districts after courts annulled first-round results in those constituencies earlier in the process.

According to the NEA, 49 seats were decided in the runoff round after final ballot counts were reviewed, appeals were adjudicated, and votes cast by Egyptians abroad were added.

Badawy said 69,891,913 voters were registered nationwide, with 22,657,211 participating in the elections, placing turnout at 32.41 percent. Of the ballots cast, 21,150,656 were deemed valid, while 1,506,555 were invalid.

Runoff voting was held in 27 of the 30 annulled districts, with polling for Egyptians abroad taking place on 31 December 2025 and 1 January 2026, and domestic voting held on 3 and 4 January.

The runoff races involved 98 candidates competing for 49 seats across 10 governorates.

Badawy said the NEA reviewed complaints and appeals throughout the process and intervened in cases where violations were found to have potentially affected the integrity of the vote.

He said the elections were overseen by members of judicial bodies and secured by state institutions, including the Ministries of Defense, Interior, Foreign Affairs, Justice, Health, Education, Local Development, and Communications and Information Technology. Domestic and international civil society organizations and media outlets also monitored the vote, according to the authority.

Parliamentary map takes shape after runoffs 
 

Following the official announcement of the runoff results in the first phase of Egypt’s parliamentary elections across 27 electoral districts on Saturday, the composition of the new House of Representatives has largely taken shape, pending a presidential decision to appoint 5 percent of members (28 MPs).

The emerging parliamentary map reflects the dominance of major political parties alongside the notable presence of independents, while opposition representation has increased, raising the prospect of strong alliances inside parliament involving major parties, independents, and opposition forces.

According to figures compiled several news websites, the incoming parliament includes representatives from 15 political parties.

The Nation’s Future Party (Mostaqbal Watan) secured 227 seats, accounting for nearly 40 percent of the 568 elected seats, making it the largest parliamentary bloc.

The Homeland Defenders Party (Homat Al-Watan) ranked second with 87 seats (15 percnt), followed by the National Front Party with 65 seats (11 percent), and the Republican People’s Party with 25 seats (4 percent).

Together, the four largest parties hold 403 seats.

The Egyptian Social Democratic Party and the Justice Party each won 11 seats, followed by the Wafd Party with 10 seats, and the Reform and Development Party with 9 seats. The Al-Nour Party secured 6 seats, while Tagammu won 5 seats, and the Conference Party gained 4 seats.

The Egyptian Freedom Party won two seats, while the Generation Will Party secured one seat. The Conservatives Party and the Awareness Party each won one seat through the individual candidacy system.

Independent candidates won a total of 103 seats, including 95 individual seats and 8 list seats, representing approximately 18 percent of the total parliamentary seats.

Women secured four seats through individual race in addition to 142 seats through the national lists. As a result, women’s representation exceeds 25 percet of the total membership of the House of Representatives, pending the final composition following the presidential appointments.
