Introduction
The Legislative And The Political Atmosphere Of The
Elections
Egypt has witnessed this year a great event wasn’t
expected since the revolution of July1952that’s the return of the regime
from the royalty(kingdom)to the republic regime.
Egypt didn’t recognize since1952the system of the direct
free elections to elect the president of the republic that’s to choose
the president was by the enquiry upon the competitor that was the choose
by(of)the parliament.
Mr. Mohamed HOSNEY MUBARAK used and practiced his right
that’s authorized to him by the constitution according to the article
no., 189as he suggested to the parliament to amend the article no., 76of
the constitution.
This step is considered the most important achievement at
Egypt since the returning back to the system of the multifarious
political parties since1976.
We declare that, this step couldn’t be accomplished but
by using and practicing Mr. president of the republic for his
constitutional right to suggest amending some of the constitutional
articles despite of that, the optimisms and the pessimisms we declared
that we are optimistic then, as we said that, this is a step must be
followed by another steps for reforming. Indeed we cant deny that, this
amendment changed the atmosphere that was still there since more
than50years and that, this amendment is considered as a start for
amending the whole constitution despite of that, amending the article
no., 76of the constitution and passing the law no., 174for2005about
organizing the presidential elections, all of that were disappointing.
The demand of amending the constitution is still
continuous since1986when the political parties and groups of Egypt
prepared a charter under the title of(towards a new constitution).
They demanded and urged for electing the president of the
republic by the direct free elections among more than a competitor,
determining and restricting the authorities of the president and that he
must not be elected for more than a twice of times(2of durations)and to
abandon(freeze)all of his activities and his political parties
properties along his duration of occupation for the position of the
president of the republic.
The last demand of them was at the year of2004when the
national united political parties were formed of15of the political
parties, they gave a statement at September, 2004, the most important
objective of them is to elect the president of the republic among more
than a competitor and the demand of amending the constitution and to
elect the president of the republic still a popular demand of the whole
of the oppositions political parties and the civil society
organizations.
Indeed, the reply was at26/02/2005when Mr. president of
the republic declared that he suggested and demanded from the parliament
to amend the article no., 76of the constitution, that it may be the
cause of this reply, that the political forces pressures at Egypt and
the increased international attention for the issues of the democracy
and the political reform at Egypt and the whole of the Arab countries.
The legislative committee of the parliament prepared the
suggestion of the amendment and a project of a law organizes the
elections of the president of the republic, after the amendment was
revised by the higher constitutional court that it returned back the law
to the parliament and demanded to amend the articles no.,
5,22,49,54,55because of that, the whole of them are infringing against
the constitution and the both articles no., 13,18 for the suspicious of
infringing the constitution.
The opposition and the objection(protest)at the article
no., 5because it has replaced the most eldest of the representatives of
the chairman of the court of appeal by the chairman of the higher
constitutional court in case of that, if there is being any objection
for him, as the court assured that, the must and the necessity that he
must be replaced by his next(follower)at the court to be reserved 2 of
members from(of)the constitutional court at the high committee.
The article no., 22before the amendment says that: the
competitors(the applicants) for the presidency must not publicize their
paid electoral advertisings at the media as the court has assured that
there is no need for this context that’s because of there being a
determined limit for the electoral advertisings.
The amendment of the article no., 49deleted and canceled
the particular part for the financial punishment(sanction)for the
competitors for the presidency(occupation) that’s assured and proved
that, he has got or received foreign funds and that’s would be enough
only the punishment(the sanction)of being jailed as the court has
considered that, the financial punishment(sanction)is infringing against
the constitution.
Afterwards, the legislative committee of the parliament
made the amendment and availed(introduced)the article for the enquiry of
the people at25/05/2005that’s the historical day that’s because it is
the day of the enquiry for the amendment for the article no., 76under
the suggested proposal as the people(the nation)agreed also because it
is the day of the violations against the women those who went out at a
peaceful demonstration to express their opinion.
Afterwards the law no., 174for the year of2005was passed
to organize the presidential elections this law is suspected at his
infringing against the constitution as a lot of notices were marked upon
it such as:
-
The context of the article no., 2of the before mentioned
law says that: it is a must and a necessity to accept the application
for competing for the presidential elections to be the competitor(the
applicant)supported by250of the members at least of the elected members
of the parliament of both its councils(the people and the
consultants)and the local popular councils for the governorates on
condition that(term) the supporters must not be less than65of the
members of the council of people and25of the members of the council of
the consultants and10of the members of each of local popular council for
the governorate from14of the governorates at least, and the number of
the supporters of the members of the councils of people and the council
of the consultants and the local popular councils of the governorates at
the applications process must be increased according to the proportion
of the increase at the number of the members of any of these councils as
it is prohibited for any and every member of them to support more than a
competitor for the presidency.
-
This context by this way restricting the opportunities
for much more bigger number of the citizens to compete and to apply
that’s because under the controlling over the whole process and the
system(regime)from the national democrat party and its controlling over
the councils of the people and the consultants and the local popular
councils and its representation with the complete and the full majority
ruining the amendment of the article no., 76 as a consequence there
wouldn’t be any competitor but according to this majority that the
national democrat party controlling over it. Constitutionally, this
article is infringing against the context of the article no., 40of the
constitution that says that:
-
(The citizens are equal in front of the law at the
general(public)rights and duties without differences at all at this
matter because of the sex(gender), race, language, religion, or the
belief).
-
The article no., 3 of the law no., 174 for the year
of 2005 said that:
-
The political parties that passed since it was
established5continued years at least before declaring the start of the
registration(application)process to elect the president of the republic
as it was continued along this period of time (duration)at practicing
its activity with its members obtaining at the last elections a
proportion of5%at least of the elected seats at both of the councils of
the people and the consultants its rightful to them to elect one of its
members of its higher committee to compete and apply for the presidency
of the republic according to its principal system(charter)whereas his
membership at this committee must be continued for a complete year at
least. Also this context is infringing against the article no., 40of the
constitution.
-
The article no., 20determined the start of the election
campaign for the competitors for the position of the president of the
republic according to the start of the3weeks before the determined
appointment for the voting process at the elections as the electoral
advertisings are prohibited at any other appointments except these
appointments by any mean(whatever the mean)the electoral advertising
include the activities of the competitors or his supporters for
persuading the voters to elect him throughout the private meetings and
the general ones and the discussions, publishing and distributing the
electoral advertisings putting on posters and the signs using the media
radio or T.V and the printings and the electronic ones and the same to
these activities that are legal(lawful)or by the decisions that are
passed from the committee for the presidential elections.
-
If we revised this determined period(duration) for the
advertisings according to this context we will find that it is so short
time that the normal competitor wouldn’t be able to or even capable for
covering the whole of the state with its cities and districts and its
villages that the competitor couldn’t reach every and each governorate
and city town or at least the major of them to show up his electoral
program to persuade them for it.
-
If we compared between the competitor of the ruling party
that’s supported by the whole of the state institutions and its
employees to make it available the whole of the possibilities and the
capabilities of them and between the rest of the competitors we could
easily find the obvious and the clear difference as this is also
infringing against the context of the article no., 40of the
constitution.
-
This is about what's concerned to the legislative
atmosphere but about the political atmosphere Egypt witnessed movements
form the independents calling for not to extend the period(duration)of
Mr. president Mohamed HOSNEY MUBARAK also that, interrupting some of the
political parties for the elections.

According to the monitoring process that’s declared that
the proportion of the participation was23% that’s suspected because of
the proportion of the participation wasn’t exceeded the proportion
of18%at the best circumstances and so there are77% of the voters(those
who are rightful and lawful to vote) they didn’t vote as the number of
the voters at the lists that are rightful and lawful to vote reached the
number of 32 million of the citizens, and the number of those who

constituencies at it about350of the election stations and merely
about750of boxes, the number of the registered voters reaches about
merely1/2million according to the monitoring process by our watchers and
their evaluations that’s because there is not available any of the true
or completed esthetics because of that, a lot of the constituencies our
watchers couldn’t get in them to recognize the number of its registered
voters at them and that, there were not any hanged lists outside the
constituencies.
-
As we covered about75%of al-GIZA constituencies as the
number of our watchers was242of watchers of them there was212of the
sustainable watchers and22of the moving(touring)watchers, in addition to
the watchers that, they were existing at the control room to receive the
complains and to collect the forms.
-
Throughout our monitoring to the elections process at
al-GIZA governorate there were a lot of the infringements and the
violations that were monitored by our watchers but there were also
positive points even if they were less(little) so that we will focus at1ston
the positives afterwards we will show the negatives:
-
1st: the positives:
-
1- this is the 1st time Egypt witnesses a
presidential elections that’s the positive itself even if it would
produce its results at future.
-
The ministry of interiors didn’t interfere at this
elections but rarely that the police haven’t any intensive existence
around the electoral constituencies compared by the parliamentary
elections.
-
The civil society organizations were monitoring the
elections even if it was from outside the constituencies in addition to
that some of the watchers could enter the constituencies and to attend
the counting process such as at the constituencies of al-KOUM al-AHMAR
and the constituency of (at)IMBABA industrial school.
-
The judges as some of them let the local watchers of the
civil society organizations to enter the constituencies.
-
2nd : the negatives and the
infringements of the electoral day were so much, of them :
-
1- the electoral advertisings continued for the
competitor of the national democrat party man inside and outside the
constituencies till the end of the electoral day and till we wrote this
report.
-
2- the secretaries of the national democrat party
threatened the inhabitants(the voters)at their constituencies and at
some of the constituencies they bought and corrupted the voters by
giving them money or promising the voters by occupations. The
secretaries of the national democrat party threatened the watchers by
the financial punishments(sanctions) and to be jailed against those
whose wouldn’t vote in good to the national democrat party
man(competitor).
-
3-the national democrat party members controlled over the
lists of the voters at the most of the constituencies before the
elections.
-
4- the national democrat party members controlled over
the divisions of the constituencies and the voting polls and its
places(locations) and hide them as unknown for the rest of the
competitors before the elections by enough time that made it easier to
distribute their deputies and their printings, the guidance forms and
cards for the supporters of the national democrat party man
(competitor).
-
5- the supervise committee for the presidential elections
refused to implement the judgment of the justice to allow for the civil
society organizations to enter the polls(stations) to
watch(supervise)and to monitor as this is considered as an infringement
and a violation against the law and the judgments of(from)the
justice(the courts)as this is also is considered as an infringement and
a violation against the constitution of the article no., 68 of it(the
constitution)that says that: the must(the necessity) for the
non-prohibition for any and every administrative decision that to not be
prohibited(prevented) from the judicial supervision(review) but the

not touched the ink at some of the constituencies as there were
available the ink as we will mention those constituencies afterwards at
this report.
-
7- the voters didn’t recognize the places of the
constituencies that’s because of collecting some of the subsidiary
constituencies all together at general constituencies without declaring
the places of the constituencies or the lists of the voters before the
elections by enough time to make it easy to recognize the constituencies
and its places as a consequence that a lot of the voters couldn’t reach
their constituencies because that, they couldn’t recognize its
places(locations)that means they didn’t vote because of that. Afterwards
they went back to their homes(houses)without voting that may be the
reason for the less(little)proportion of the participation.
-
8- the state (governmental) institutions interfered at
the electoral advertisings for(in good to) the national democrat party
