The Alliance of Egyptian Americans (AEA) has been closely following the events related to Egyptian parliamentary election with increasing alarm. Egyptian and International media have all confirmed and provided evidence of unprecedented level of irregularities and fraud.

AEA is calling on the Egyptian authorities to take immediately the following steps:

1- Annul the election results.
2- Terminate the State of Emergency and its applicable laws restricting freedom of speech, assembly and peaceful political activities.
3- Work with all political forces without exclusion to form an Election Commission independent of the interior ministry and answerable to the High Court.
4- Allow full supervision of the entire election process by the Judiciary.
5- Allow unfettered Domestic Civil Associations and International Observers to observe the entire electoral process to give that process the required legitimacy and credibility.
6- Remove the constitutional restrictions on presidential candidacy of article 76 of the Constitution.

AEA further calls on all political parties and independents to heed the lessons learned albeit belatedly and boycott any future elections until above six conditions are met.
