| Egypt Without Future Elections |
| 2013-08-01 |
| [AlAhram] Free elections are a cornerstone of any democracy, but in Egypt they face serious challenges, not least illiteracy. Is it time to say honestly, 'No to free elections in Egypt'? While many Egyptian intellectuals and politicians are scrambling to present various recipes for a roadmap for the future, everyone agrees on one thing: the need to "hold elections," both parliamentary and presidential, within the next few months. This consensus is logical on the outside since frequent free elections are a cornerstone of building any democratic system. Elections are also the only alternative when it comes to a mechanism for the peaceful transfer of power. |
