The Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party has submitted its parliamentary candidacy list to the elections committee of the Democratic Coalition, of which the party is a member among 42 other parties.
The list indicates that the party would compete for over 40 percent of parliamentary seats under the individual and combined candidacy systems.
Meanwhile, Saad al-Husseini resigned from the group’s Guidance Bureau when he learned that the group is not fielding candidates in the elections. Since he now plans to run as a member of the Freedom and Justice Party, rules bar him from continuing to be a member of the Guidance Bureau.
Among the party’s 200 candidates are Essam al-Erian and Mohamed al-Biltagy.
