Egypt's NDP Faces Crucial Election Test on Reforms, Past Corruption
Egypt's National Democratic Party (NDP) is preparing for the 2024 election polls in September. Mohamed Sheta, an NDP member, expects these election polls to serve as a referendum on the party's recent reforms and its past corruption allegations.
Sheta believes that Egyptians will decide if they approve of the 'new' NDP, which claims to have shifted its stance towards partisan pluralism. This is a departure from its past beliefs under the former regime.
Sheta dismissed demands for the party's dissolution, asserting that such views do not reflect the majority of Egyptians. He is hopeful that the NDP will secure a significant representation in the 2024 election polls.
Interestingly, both the NDP and the Muslim Brotherhood supported a recent package of constitutional amendments, which were approved by a substantial majority of Egyptians (77.2%). This cooperation may indicate a shift in political dynamics.
Observers predict that the Muslim Brotherhood and the NDP may benefit most in the 2024 election polls due to their experience and organizational strengths. This is notable, considering the NDP's absence in the 2012 presidential elections following its dissolution after the 2011 revolution.
The upcoming 2024 election polls in Egypt will be a crucial test for the National Democratic Party, with Egyptians set to decide if they accept the party's reforms and its past actions. Both the NDP and the Muslim Brotherhood appear poised to benefit from their experience and organization, potentially shaping the political landscape.
