De Moubarak à Moubarak : l’élection présidentielle de 2005 en Égypte

Iman Farag
The first Egyptian presidential election contest occurred in September 2005. President Moubarak, seeking a fifth term, won the elections. The results were no surprise, considering the constitutional and judicial precautions framing these elections. In fact, the close links between the governing party and the State apparatus, guaranteeing the perpetuation of the majority, remain unchanged. But by taking the initiative of a constitutional amendment providing for a presidential election – in a country where referendums had been the rule for choosing presidents – the regime will have to face the new constraints that presidential elections impose: respect for the rules of the game defined by the regime itself and the political mobilizations denouncing the infringements of these rules, or even their content. What impact do the September 2005 electoral results have on the redefinition of the presidential question? How can one describe those candidates competing against President Moubarak? What kind of image of the President did this campaign give, though it was meant to promote him? And lastly, which were the mobilizations of an opposition which, even if it did not attain its objectives, experienced new forms of contestation? ■
