Sisi approves amendment of elections constituency division law

President Abdel El Sisi approved Thursday the amendment of some provisions of Elections Constituency Division law.

Under the amendment, Egypt will be divided into 205 constituencies for elections under the individual system and four constituencies for the party-list seats.

The remarks were made by Presidential Spokesman Alaa Youssef.

Parliamentary elections were previously scheduled to take place in March, but were suspended by the Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC) due to the unconstitutionality of parliamentary laws.

The unconstitutional laws were specifically relating to those organizing the division of electoral districts.

Parliamentary elections would mark the third and final step of the roadmap, which was outlined on July 3, following the ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi.
