FJP Press Release No. (12) – Run-Off Voting

Cairo: 4/Dec/2011 – 17:00 (15:00GMT)

Tomorrow, Monday 5/Dec/2011 runoff voting for the first phase of parliamentary elections 2011 begins. This round gets underway in the shadow of certain challenges where some people are betting that the unprecedented record turnout last Monday and Tuesday, with the participation of more than 62% of eligible population, will not be repeated now. We would like to make things clear:

·         Our confidence in the Egyptian people, who excelled in giving striking examples in positive and effective political participation, compels us to ask them for serious, meaningful participation in the Monday run-off round, and solid determination to cast their votes, to further prove they are capable of making their future with their own hands.

·         With our sincere appreciation and respect for all competitors in this election, parties or independent – representing all political and intellectual currents, we must stress that we did not get into any co-ordination schemes, alliances or concessions to any of the candidates. Our candidates, with their election symbols and all, are still standing in the run-off for all seats, in fair competition where the voter has the first and last word.

·         The FJP, once again, calls on all media, especially private satellite channels, to show commitment to objectivity and impartiality in the coverage of this round and future rounds, and not to hunt for news to spark fires in the Egyptian street, especially those owned by certain businessmen who shared the interests of the defunct former regime and still walk its path, seeking the West’s help against the Egyptian people.

·         The FJP warns those who use its name and without official approval by the party and its secretariats, put up posters, distribute publications or flyers, announce unconfirmed data or reports, and give election gifts or bribes, all of which would distort the image of the party, we warn all those that the FJP will take legal action against them, We have already taken measures to monitor the situation and report those who do so to the competent authorities, and to take forceful legal action against them to ensure the protection of the FJP’s reputation and name, and to preserve the respect of the public for the party.

·         We call on all candidates competing in parliamentary elections to commit to the spirit of fair competition and not to resort to perverse plots against the party, especially since we have documents to prove that some have already resorted to such heinous actions in order to tarnish and distort the image of the party in the street.
