Egyptians on Sunday wrapped up voting in the second and final stage of parliamentary elections, which were almost certain to produce a lower chamber packed with supporters of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.
The two-day vote took place in 13 of Egypt's 27 provinces -- including Cairo -- with more than 31 million people eligible to vote in this stage.
Only around nine million people, or 28% of eligible voters, cast their ballots in the first stage last month, according to the National Election Authority. In total, more than 63 million are eligible to vote in the two stages. In August, Senate elections saw just 14.23% participation.
