Opposition in Egypt Loses One MP
The Tagammu‘ party, Egypt's leftist opposition party, won five seats in the recent People's Assembly elections, running third after the NDP (420) and the Wafd (6).

Since he was elected before he died, they'll have a by-election - but these things take time in Egypt.
