Based on the final results announced to date by the National Elections Authority, as well as the numerical assessment of the most recent runoff rounds of the Egyptian House of Representatives elections, a statistical study conducted by a specialized research unit at the State Information Service (SIS) has identified several significant numerical indicators. These indicators may offer early insights into the expected performance of the new parliament.

The main findings are summarized as follows:

Eight opposition parties secured a total of 53 seats, representing nearly 10% of the House’s elected members.
Half of these opposition parties are affiliated with the Civil Democratic Movement, winning 32 seats—equivalent to 60% of all seats held by opposition parties.
The distribution of seats among opposition parties is as follows:
Egyptian Social Democratic Party: 11 seats
Justice Party: 11 seats
Reform and Development Party: 9 seats
Wafd Party: 9 seats
Al-Nour Party: 6 seats
Tagammu Party: 5 seats
Conservatives Party: 1 seat
Awareness Party: 1 seat
Parties affiliated with the “National List for Egypt” lost a total of 82 seats in individual constituency elections to independent candidates.
Independent candidates won 105 seats in total, accounting for more than 18% of the House’s elected membership.
Consequently, the combined number of seats held by opposition parties and independents stands at 158, representing 28% of elected members.
As a result, the new House of Representatives comprises 15 political parties; 8 opposition parties and 7 pro-government parties.
