No new medical tests for parliament candidates registered in March: Egypt’s HEC
Egypt’s parliamentary elections hopefuls, who previously passed medical check-ups in February before the postponement of the elections, do not need to take new tests to qualify for the polls that start mid-October, the High Elections Committee (HEC) said on Tuesday.
In a statement, the committee said its decision would make the election process easier for candidates.
Passing medical tests is mandatory for candidates to register for running in the parliamentary elections. The tests cost EGP 2850 ($365).
