Egyptians are voting in a parliamentary election that is likely to tighten President Abdel Fattah el Sisi's grip on power

Voters wait to enter a polling station in El Ayyat, south of the Egyptian capital on October 24, 2020

The remaining deputies will be appointed by former army general-turned-president Sisi, whose government has over the past six years silenced any serious political opposition to its rule. “The previous parliament allowed the government to do what it wanted,” said voter Amr Abdel Wahed while waiting to cast his ballot at a polling center neat the Cairo University. He added that people were “tired” of a parliament that followed the government's line so closely.Giant billboards and banners have sprung up across the bustling capital, Cairo, and elsewhere urging Egyptians to vote, while some candidates have released online music video clips to draw support.

The new parliament will be the second to convene under Sisi, who took office in 2014 after leading the military ouster of President Mohamed Morsi.Possible fines?"I am only taking part in the elections because I am afraid if I don't vote, I will be fined by the government," she said, declining to be named for security reasons.

Among the top contenders is a political coalition known as the Unified National List, led by the pro-government Mostakbal Watan, or Nation's Future, Party.
