THE BIG STORY TODAY-<\/p>\n

? A total of 27 candidates have secured individual seats in the 2025 House of Representatives elections<\/strong>, National Election Authority Chairman Hazem Badawy announced in a press conference<\/a> this afternoon. Of the 27 elected representatives, 10 are independent, with nine from the Mostakbal Watan Party. The results follow the runoff round held across 19 constituencies where initial results were annulled by the NEA due to suspected foul play during the first phase.<\/p>\n
