 Al-Ahram Weekly Opinion Bigger choice than ever
Following the breakup of the UAR in 1961, a new constitution was promulgated as was a new state party -- the Arab Socialist Union (ASU) -- from which candidates were drawn for the National Assembly elections that were held in 1962 and again in 1969.
Many National Party members had withdrawn from the party to run as independents, leaving voters with a choice mostly limited to ruling party candidates and ruling party breakaways.
If, in the forthcoming elections, the majority of contestants are still National Party candidates or National Party breakaways, the number of opposition candidates has increased considerably, a factor that holds the promise of an intriguing electoral battle.
