Sunday, Egyptians in multiple cities went to the polls in the first stage of the very exciting elections for the parliament particularly the upper house. The Egyptian voters will cast for Shura over days beginning with 13 governorates including Cairo. This election come after the blowout in the lower house poll by Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt's first election since the well know protest of former President Hosni Mubarak. It happens to be that in the lower parties for parliament Islamist parties such as Muslim Brotherhood did drastically better than liberal parties representing some protesters. Last week, 2 parties won roughly 70 percent of the entire lower parliament voting. It was reported that the Egyptian military rulers handed over the legislative powers to the house. This happens to be the first Parliament in Egypt's history to be dominated by Islamists.
