      "title": "Egypt: 2005 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections",
      "summary": "In 2005, Egypt conducted two sets of elections that illustrate both the opportunities and\nchallenges\nfor U.S. democracy promotion policy in the Middle East. On September 7, 2005, Egypt conducted\nits first multi-candidate presidential election, resulting in the reelection of President Hosni Mubarak\nwith 88% of the vote. Although some have credited Egypt for holding a competitive election, many\nhave criticized the outcome and alleged fraud. Parliamentary elections in Egypt resulted in the ruling\nNDP party securing an overwhelming majority of seats but also saw independent candidates\naffiliated with the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood winning nearly 20% of seats, a dramatic gain from\nprevious elections. This report provides an overview of both elections and their implications for\nU.S. policy. For more information on Egypt, see  CRS Report RL33003 ,  Egypt: Background\nand U.S.\nRelations , by Jeremy M. Sharp.",
