There are 46 electoral districts for party based lists in Egypt. There are 83 districts covered by the individual single-winner electoral system.
There are four main electoral blocs, which span the political
spectrum. Although Egypt does have a left, I believe it is inaccurate,
in my view, to say it has a "right," as that concept is understood in
Europe. It has a secular side and a more fundamentalist religious side.
Left/Liberal
Egyptian Bloc: Free Egyptians (Free Enterprise), Egyptian Social Democratic Party, Tagmmu Party (old school leftist)
The Revolution Continues:
Socialist Popular Alliance Party, Egyptian Socialist Party, Egypt
Freedom (Amr Hamzawy), Equality and Development, Egyptian Current,
Revolution Youth Coalition
Right/Religious
Democratic Alliance: (12 parties) Muslim Brotherhood, Ghad Party, Al-Karama (Nasserist)
Islamist Alliance: Nour Party (Salafis), Asala, the Salafist Current, the Construction and Development Party (Al-Jamaa Al-Islamiya)
What seats are the blocs running for?
Given that there are 46 party list districts, if a party is running in more districts than this, it means they are running individual candidates.
The
Egyptian Bloc will run 233 candidates in unified electoral lists, to
contest seats in 64 electoral districts. 10 % Tagammu, 40% SDP, 50 %
Free Egyptians.
The Islamist Alliance will be running
on unified lists in all electoral districts across the countries. Seats
will be divided based on the relative political weight of each party,
and how much it contributes to the success of the overall list.
The
Revolution Continues will field 300 candidates in 34 electoral
districts. 250 candidates will run on unified electoral lists, and 34
for the people's assembly will run on independent seats, and 26 for the
Shura Council will run independently.
The Democratic
Alliance will field 498 candidates and is competing in 67 electoral
districts around the country. FJP candidates make up 70 percents of the
slots on the unified lists. FJP candidates make up 90 percent of the
candidates for the independent seats on the unified lists.
The Wafd Party has fielded 332 list-based candidates in 46
electoral constituencies, and 96 individual candidates in 83
constituencies for the upcoming elections. Four former members of the NDP were
nominated by the Wafd in the Red Sea, Qena, Minya and Sharqiya.
Wasat
(Moderate Islamist/Brotherhood Offshoot) will field 402 candidates. 332
will be on party lists. 70 will run as independents.
