Clashes erupted today between supporters of the Wafd candidate competing for Shubra district's professional’s seat, Ramy Lakah, and his National Democratic Party opponent Fady al-Habashy.
Three of al-Habashy’s supporters were left injured.
Al-Habashy’s supporters blocked the road in front of the polling station–held at Al-Attar Secondary School for Girls–where they, wielding "white weapons," clashed with Lakah’s supporters.
Yehia Hafez, the independent candidate vying for the same seat, accused Lakah, al-Habashy as well as Reda Wahdan, the NDP candidate running for the worker’s seat, of buying votes.
Briberies reached LE200 per vote at some polling stations.
