Voting resumed at 9am on Tuesday for the second and final day of Egypt's 2025 Senate elections, with polls set to close at 9pm across 8,286 polling stations nationwide. The process is being supervised by 9,500 judges from the State Lawsuits Authority and the Administrative Prosecution Authority. According to the National Elections Authority (NEA), 428 candidates are contesting individual seats—186 running as independents and 242 representing political parties. Preliminary results are expected on 12 August. If no decisive outcome emerges, a runoff will be held both inside and outside Egypt. Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi cast his vote at Fatma Anan School in Fifth Settlement. He emphasized the importance of voter participation, calling it a constitutional right and a civic duty. He encouraged workers in the petroleum sector to take part in choosing their representatives, saying participation reflects national awareness and responsibility. Minister of State for Military Production Mohamed Salah El-Din Mostafa also voted on Tuesday, at his polling station in Mokattam. He similarly described voting as a national obligation and a reflection of Egyptians' commitment to shaping their country's future. The Senate, Egypt's upper chamber of parliament, serves in a consultative capacity, while legislative authority remains with the House of Representatives. The 300-member Senate is composed of three equal segments: one-third elected through individual candidacy, one-third via closed party lists, and one-third appointed by the president. Women are guaranteed at least 10 percent of the seats. Members serve five-year terms. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
