	UNDP-POGAR: Programme on Governance in the Arab Region: Elections
		The executive branch of Egypt is headed by an elected president, and the Egyptian parliament gave its final approval on June 16, 2005 of the new presidential elections law.
		The most recent presidential elections held on September 7, 2005, however, were conducted according to the amended article 76 of the constitution stipulating that the president is to be elected by direct public contested elections, rather than by referendum after being nominated by the People's Assembly as in the past.
		Egypt's Judges Club issued a statement on December 2 affirming that the executive authorities did not enable them to have full supervision over the electoral process because the police besieged many polling stations and blocked voters from casting their votes.

	Elections in Egypt (Human Rights Watch Backgrounder, October 2000)
		Their reports documented numerous irregularities prior to and during the elections, including the harassment, intimidation and often arrest of opposition candidates, the presence of security officials inside the polling stations, strong-arm tactics designed to influence voting, and vote rigging.
		On July 8, in response to a lawsuit filed by an Egyptian lawyer contesting the constitutionality of the earlier 1990 parliamentary elections, Egypt´s Supreme Constitutional Court passed a landmark ruling.

		There are plenty of other reasons to doubt the legitimacy of this outcome: few voters know the voting procedures, no public debates will take place among the candidates, reportedly anti-regime judges have been relieved of their observing duties, and so far pro-democracy organizations have been denied observational access.
		The typical response would probably be much like what Kamelia Hamed told her son when he asked, that the flag is part of the election campaign, which is a process by which the public chooses their leader from among several candidates.
		Demonstrators in Egypt would not have dared go on anti-Mubarak demonstrators without the support of the west to the movements of democracy and freedom of the peoples of the Middle East.

		We received this article from a trade union activist in Egypt who reports on how the state security police have removed candidates in the trade union elections who are opposed to privatisation.
		It is quite clear that a very angry mood is developing among Egyptian workers and the state, in collaboration with the leaders of the trade unions, are attempting to stifle the growing opposition.
