Egypt's Nasserist and Wafd parties will participate in a sit-in downtown Sunday to protest parliamentary elections fraud, according to George Ishaq, former general coordinator for the Egyptian Movement for Change (Kefaya).
This demonstration will mark the first time that Egypt's opposition movements collaborate with traditional political parties since the opposition groups began to appear on the political scene six years ago.
Ishaq said the Kefaya movement, the National Association for Change led by Mohamed ElBaradei, the Labor Party, the Karama party and the 6 April movement will join the Nasserist and Wafd parties in the demonstration, which will call for the dissolution of parliament.
The ruling National Democratic Party won more than 90 percent of available People's Assembly seats in the elections, which have drawn widespread accusations of fraud.
