FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Egypt’s former presidential candidate Amr Moussa has announced plans to establish an electoral alliance to support new President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi in the country’s next parliamentary polls.
Moussa, who was a foreign minister under former dictator Hosni Mubarak, revealed his plan in an interview with Al-Sharq Al-Awsat on Thursday, emphasizing that everyone must unite for the interest of the country and work toward forming a strong parliament, , Egyptian Al-Ahram Online reported.
Moussa met on Wednesday with members of several parties, including the liberal Free Egyptians Party, the center-left Egyptian Social Democratic Party (ESDP), the leftist Tagamoa Party and the liberal Wafd Party for talks about a possible pro-Sisi alliance. Other major figures attending the meetings included former General Intelligence chief Mourad Muwafi.
The key objective of the alliance, the report said, is ‘to guard the constitution,’ Moussa claimed.
According to the report, procedures for Egypt’s parliamentary elections must begin before July 17, in line with Egypt’s 2014 constitution, devised and put to vote by the country’s military-installed interim government following the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi.
Both the Social Democratic Party and the Wafd Party have been critical of a recently-passed parliamentary law that leaves only a small portion of parliamentary seats for party lists, which are closed in the new law in contrast with the 2011-2012 law, which allowed open lists.
The new law stipulates the election of 20 percent of seats through lists, unlike the two-thirds elected through lists in 2012.
Meanwhile, the Wafd Party has expressed its willingness to join the alliance. The party’s Assistant Secretary-General Tarek Sabbaa echoed Mousa’s belief that the next parliament must support al-Sisi.
