Parliamentary elections were held in
Arab Socialist Organisation and the left-wing National Progressive Unionist Party), along with 208 independents. This electoral experiment would lead, in 1979, to Egypt's first multi-party elections
since 1952.
Two candidates were elected from each of the 175 constituencies, with a second round of voting required if one or both of the candidates failed to win over 50% of the vote in the first round, or neither of the candidates with over 50% were classed as a worker or farmer (each constituency had to have at least one farmer or worker representing it).[1] Following the election, a further ten members were appointed by the President.
The result was a victory for the
Arab Socialist Organisation, which won 295 of the 360 seats. Voter turnout was just 39.77%.[1]
