The purpose of this post is to compile research on which Egyptian parties represent women and Copts and young people.
The RCA has 100 candidates under 40. The RCA has two women at the top of its lists, including Mervat Said Hanafi in Helwan.
The SDP and Socialist Coalition also have platforms strongly supportive of women and religious freedom.
The Free Egyptians and the SDP have sizable Copt participation. That is to be expected as they are secular parties.
Wafd Party President al-Sayed
al-Badawy says there are 23 Coptic candidates on the lists, and 52
female candidates on the lists.
Heba Fahmy of the Daily News says the the Democratic Alliance List
includes 76 women and 2 Copts. About half of the female candidates are
on the top of the list.
The MB is incredibly organized, and has their candidates listed on their facebook page. More on what the lists look like later.
