This is how misinformation spreads. Egypt’s 2014 electoral framework introduced affirmative-action provisions to guarantee representation for historically underrepresented groups in its first parliamentary elections under the new Constitution. Under Section 5 of Law No. 46 of 2014, electoral lists were required to include a minimum number of Christian candidates, alongside designated places for young people, workers and farmers, persons with disabilities and women. Specifically, 24 of the 120 seats allocated to the electoral-list system were reserved for Christian candidates. This did not impose a ceiling on the number of Christians who could enter parliament. They could also contest and win seats through individual elections. Following the 2015 elections, Coptic Christians won 36 seats, representing approximately 6% of parliament. Yet this man has mistaken the approximately 6% achieved in the election for a statutory maximum on Coptic parliamentary representation. There is a difference between a minimum representation requirement and a maximum allocation. You don’t need to misinform others please
