Hamdeen Sabbahi's campaign monitored what it called "systematic interference by police and army in the electoral process," saying they did not allow Sabbahi’s supporters to enter polling stations before checking their proxies.
A spokesperson said this obstructed them from proving irregularities in the official records of the subcommittee judges, which is contrary to the 2014 election law that only gives the right to the committees and subcommittees to check proxies.
The campaign said through Facebook that Ahmed Hanafi Abu Zeid, member of its legal committee, was arrested and detained in the Warraq police station for defending a supporter’s right.
He was also shown beaten allegedly by security forces.
The following are alleged irregularities spotted by the central operations room of Sabbahi’s campaign:
Minya:
– Campaigning inside the Qasim Amin School polling station
