He added, in an interview with “Arabs Today”, “Large blocs rejected the proposal to add 7 judges to oversee the work of the Independent Electoral Commission although it would correct the course of the political process and to save the country. “These judges actually supervised the elections after the deputies voted on them.”
Bakr announced that he is not convinced of some of the answers mentioned by the President of the Electoral Commission during his answer to the questions addressed to him in the House of Representatives, saying that the process of questioning the head of the Electoral Commission is an interrogation of all members of the Commission.
