Couple of hours ago, parliamentary candidates filled application of nomination to the parliament. Egyptian nominees were fighting to fill the applications. Electoral bribes appeared as well including money and medicine.

Religious parties trading on both religion and illness of the people are going to present electoral bribes including food substances as well.
