| Streszczenie: | From Moubarak to Moubarak: The 2005 Presidential
Election in Egypt
The first Egyptian presidential election contest occurred in
September 2005. President Moubarak, seeking a fifth term, won the elections. The results were no surprise, considering the constitutional and judicial precautions framing these elections. In fact, the close links between the
governing party and the State apparatus, guaranteeing the perpetuation of
the majority, remain unchanged. But by taking the initiative of a constitutional amendment providing for a presidential election – in a country where
referendums had been the rule for choosing presidents – the regime will have
to face the new constraints that presidential elections impose: respect for the
rules of the game defined by the regime itself and the political mobilizations
denouncing the infringements of these rules, or even their content. What
impact do the September 2005 electoral results have on the redefinition of
the presidential question? How can one describe those candidates competing
against President Moubarak? What kind of image of the President did this
campaign give, though it was meant to promote him? And lastly, which were
the mobilizations of an opposition which, even if it did not attain its objectives, experienced new forms of contestation? ■ |
