The majority of the Egyptian people decided not to participate in the House of Representatives elections. They don’t just vote, but they vote for those whom are well known. The elite may do this to please the governors.
The candidates didn’t exert a lot of effort to present themselves to the people. The president didn’t urge the people to participate, but invited them to do through formal speech that didn’t tough the people like improvising. He wasn’t excited during the speech unlike the first time when he urged the people to demonstrate on July 2013. He has not improvised even during the opening of the New Suez Canal Project.
Maybe he is worried about the results of the elections after the government cooperated with the Salafis and refused to dissolve their religious parties.
I urge the Egyptian people to participate in the second phase of the elections, but I respect their decision, especially with the way the president invited them to participate.
The real problem lies in the candidates and ignorance that is used by the Salafis. In short, the Egyptians don’t obey every demand of the president. We have to know the reason for such change.
