From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Politics of Egypt takes place in the framework of a semi-presidential republic, whereby the President of Egypt is de facto both head of state and head of government, and of a system dominated by the National Democratic Party. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the People’s Assembly and the Shura Council.
