The legal adviser of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), Ahmed Abu Baraka, said that the party filed 136 cases against the Supreme Electoral Committee after they rejected a number of candidates as not meeting conditions drafted by the committee. Abu Baraka told Youm7 that the party would take legal measures against the committee to enable its candidates to run in the next parliamentary elections. Amr Zaky, an FJP candidate, said that the party organized a protest in front of the Supreme Electoral Committee (SEC) to protest its refusal to hand over the list of voters to the party candidates. He said that the candidates threatened to organize a strike against the committee. He said that committee is legally obligated to provide them with the lists of voters. They threatened Egyptian authorities with escalation if the committee insisted on refusing to give them the lists. Zaky added that the party would resume efforts to prevent former members of dissolved National Democratic Party (NDP) from running for the next parliamentary elections. He said that the FJP would file a case soon to prevent former NDP members from participating in political life.
