Egyptian Court Invalidates Results of Parliamentary Elections Due to Violations

Egypt’s top administrative court has annulled the results of parliamentary elections in 26 electoral districts due to violations, local media reported on Sunday. The first phase of the parliamentary elections took place to choose members of the House of Representatives across 14 of Egypt’s 27 governorates. The state news agency MENA reported that the Higher Administrative Court’s decision to cancel the results was based on appeals by candidates who ran in the first phase. The court ruled to invalidate the electoral process and void the announcement of results in 26 districts across nine governorates, according to MENA.
