On Tuesday, Alexandria Court of First Instance is scheduled to issue a verdict in a lawsuit that demands a ban on the nomination of Muslim Brotherhood members in parliamentary and presidential elections.
Tareq Mahmoud, legal adviser for the Popular Front Against Brotherhoodization of Egypt, had filed the lawsuit to force the High Elections Commission, the prime minister and the interior minister not to accept nomination papers from current or former Muslim Brotherhood members for public office.
The Muslim Brotherhood was labelled by Egyptian authorities as a terrorist group in late 2013.
