The latest modifications suggested that one third of the whole seats in the parliaments will be decided by party-list system and individual candidates system.

The modification came as a result of a meeting between chief of staff of the armed forces Sami Anan and the heads of some political parties and movements on October 1.

Anan confirmed on the meeting that the SCAF doesn't seek to extend the transitional period.

He said the military council is acting under a clear timetable and will transfer power to an elected civil government after the parliamentary and presidential elections.

Under SCAF's timetable, the two-chamber parliament will hold a joint session in March or April next year during which a constituent assembly will be chosen to draft a new constitution, allowing presidential hopefuls to declare candidacy for the presidential elections within 45-60 days.

The SCAF will also consider ending the emergency law and not to refer civilians to the military judiciary, said Anan.

The fifth item of the Election Law drew a wave of anger among many political groups due to its suggestion that two thirds of the seats will be elected through party-list system while one third will be decided via individual-candidate system.

About 22 Egyptian political parties on September 27 called on the SCAF to delay the parliamentary elections for six months in order to make more preparations. They threatened to boycott the election if the SCAF failed to meet their demands.

Thousands of protestors appeared on the Tahrir Square on September 30 to urge the ruling SCAF to reconsider the electoral law and end the state of emergency.

Egypt is scheduled to start voting of parliamentary elections on November 28.
