Mr. Anwar Esmat El Sadat, Suggested the Addition of an article to the Political Rights Law No. 73 of 1956 to be amended shortly to ban the nomination of the sons of the head of state and heads of the People's Assembly and Shura Council and the Prime Minister in all presidential, legislative and local councils elections as long as their parents are still in charge.
This will require amending the Constitution, putting an exception in article 40, to avoid being challenged by a constitutional motion.
El-Sadat's willingness to add this article in particular due to the possibility that candidates can misuse their parents influence and power violating article 40 of the Constitution which states that all citizens are equal before the law, also to end the controversy about inheritance in the government and the ambiguity around the future of governance in Egypt caused by a stagnant political life.
