The change is considered a coup in the politics of Egypt and puts the state on the track of sociopolitical development. It is important to remember that the elections in this Arab republic remain the most accurate indicator of the public will. The present paper aims to explore these elections, their impact on internal and external affairs, especially in terms of managing the state, inter-partisan relations and foreign policy.
