Christians make strong showing in Egyptian Parliament
More Christian candidates are running in this year’s parliamentary elections in Egypt.
CAIRO — The phone on the desk in front of Maged Talaat Ramzi does not stop ringing.
Every now and then, someone calls him to confirm support.
"I find support wherever I go," Ramzi told Al-Monitor. "People are able to differentiate between those who will defend their rights and those who give them lip service only."
Ramzi is one of dozens of Christian candidates running in the House of Deputies (lower chamber of parliament) elections, which will be held between Oct. 24 and Nov. 8.
