The Egyptian House of Representatives Law No. 46 of 2014, amended by Law No. 140 of 2020, defines duties for members of parliament and grants them certain rights, which all members must adhere to whether elected or appointed.

The duties begin with taking the oath before assuming office, pledging to uphold the republican system, respect the constitution and laws, fully care for the people’s interests, and preserve the nation’s independence and territorial integrity.

Members are prohibited throughout their term from directly or indirectly dealing with state funds or assets of public law persons, public sector companies, or state-owned enterprises. They must submit financial disclosure statements upon assuming office, upon leaving, and annually, and report any gifts received due to membership, which become state property.

The law regulates conflict of interest prevention and separation of ownership from management. Members must separate ownership of shares or stakes from their management within 60 days of acquiring membership or dispose of them at a fair price.

Purchasing shares or stakes is only allowed under specific conditions and at fair market prices, with no additional benefits in loans or credit facilities. Members must notify the House office of any professional activity they engage in.

Combining membership with other positions such as the Senate, government, local councils, or independent authority leadership is prohibited. New appointments during membership are restricted to promotions, transfers, judicial rulings, or legal provisions.

The National Elections Authority, chaired by Judge Hazem Badawy, announced the opening of candidacy for the House of Representatives membership for eight days from October 8 to 15, 2025.
