Egypt resumed voting on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, as citizens returned to the polls in 30 constituencies where results from the first phase of the 2025 House of Representatives elections were annulled by the High Administrative Court.
While overseas voting concluded on Tuesday, in-country polling will run through Thursday from 9am to 9pm. A total of 623 candidates are vying for 58 seats, excluding six seats in four constituencies—Giza, Al-Montazah, Al-Mahmoudiya and First Aswan—which remain under review by the Court of Cassation. The National Elections Authority (NEA), overseeing the entire process, is expected to announce first-round results on December 18, with run-offs scheduled overseas for December 31 and January 1, and in Egypt January 3 and 4. Final results will be declared on January 10.
The re-runs follow extensive appeals lodged after the first phase of voting in November, prompting judicial scrutiny of eligibility, electoral procedures and vote recounts. Last week, the NEA confirmed the National Unified List for Egypt—comprising 12 political parties—as the leading victor in the second phase.
President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi has intensified calls for heightened transparency, urging the NEA to thoroughly investigate incidents in tightly contested constituencies, provide verified copies of vote-count records to candidate representatives and annul results where verification is impossible. He further pressed the authority to publicly disclose actions taken in response to campaign violations, underscoring the imperative of safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process.
