On October 6, 2020, Egypt held its first parliamentary elections since 2014. The elections marked a major milestone in the nation's transition to democracy following the 2011 revolution that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak. The elections were held over three days and saw a turnout of around 28 percent of eligible voters. The ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) won a majority of seats in the 596-member Parliament, securing 364 seats. The liberal Wafd Party came in second with 58 seats, followed by the Free Egyptians Party with 36 seats and the Reform and Development Party with 28 seats.

The elections were generally seen as free and fair, although there were reports of irregularities such as vote-buying and voter intimidation. The results of the elections have been welcomed by international observers, who have praised the Egyptian government for taking steps to ensure a peaceful and transparent electoral process.

The elections are seen as a major step forward in Egypt's democratic transition and will likely lead to further political and economic reforms. The new Parliament is expected to pass legislation that will help to improve the country's economy and create more jobs. It is also expected to pass laws that will strengthen the rights of women and minorities, as well as laws that will promote freedom of expression and the rule of law.
