The jokes of the Egyptian Senate elections, which are currently underway, dominated the heat of the relatively low pace of their competitions, and the "leaps" of jokes that reflected traditional Egyptian wit, hunting down some candidates' failures.
In the governorate of Menoufia, a YouTube propaganda appeared depicting a traditional peasant woman walking through the crops, and when the broadcaster asks her: "Where are you going, where are you Manar?", She replies, "You go, I vote for the tractor." .
In Assiut, the mistake of a calligrapher who wrote the phrase “the individual complex” instead of “the individual seat” under the name of the candidate Essam Abdel-Ghani caused a torrent of attacks on the communication pages, but it also brought him a great deal of fame.
In other Egyptian regions, the pioneers of "social media" caught a number of errors similar to other candidates, among them a repeated mistake by the two candidates, Dr. Ahmed Abdel Shafi and Ahmed Taha Al-Feki, who placed the Egyptian flag upside down on a propaganda banner, and while the first sought to correct the error through a statement in which he said: A national candidate and does not accept insulting the Egyptian flag », accusing the printing press of committing a mistake, the second went further, and attributed what happened to his competitors who seek to distort his image.
In Assiut governorate, a propaganda banner for the candidate Ismat al-Jazzar, who chose the "knife" as its electoral symbol in a campaign of criticism for her, and comments on the communication pages were filled with phrases that monitor the paradox in combining the words "the butcher" and "the knife", while other comments asked laughing, "Where are you?" Bags? ”, In a reminder of a famous Egyptian incident (the case of Samiha Abdel Hamid 1985), in which a man was cut up by a woman’s hand, but the candidate Ismat al-Jazzar herself chose not to be silent on these criticisms, so she wrote a reply on her Facebook page:“ Before she You think to criticize, you have to think that the reason for criticism is not up to you. I did not think to choose an animal symbol, because God honored man over the animal! For those who criticize the symbol of tranquility, is there no home of tranquility, do they use it for violence, or for generosity with different foods? That is, it is not a tool of violence, but rather a useful tool used in peace. It is a multi-purpose tool that can be used in peace and war. It was also used in engraving on stone in the ancient era, that is, a tool for education in the past.
In the same direction, the candidate, Mohamed Halawa, was exposed to a wave of criticism for having put a picture of the statue of "Cleopatra", even though his electoral symbol is "Nefertiti". Candidate Zaki Barnabah also presented the same thing, after he wrote under his name that his electoral symbol is "banana brown" and means "banana fruit."
The most prominent mistake in the elections was the subject of comments, the share of a "political party" and not an "individual candidate" this time, as the "National Movement" party placed a sign above its headquarters for one of its candidates that read "Candidate words not deeds," and it is a sign that definitely means the opposite ( Candidate of actions, not words), but the comments on the communication networks that poured down in abundance did not give the party an opportunity to correct the mistake easily and calmly, which forced the official spokesman of the party, Khaled Al-Awami, to go out to make a statement to the media, saying that «the image Photoshop intended to offend the party , And it spread on the social media in an exaggerated manner, and that the party deliberately failed to respond in the last period.
On a parallel level, the election night witnessed a special kind of celebration for the "Future of a Nation" party, where an elegant place was chosen for it rather than a popular place, as is usually the case for political conferences. The celebration was also mixed with a luxurious feast in which various formations of meat and fish appeared.
Identical media sources, including Al-Masry Al-Youm and BBC, said that the celebration is a propaganda conference for a candidate from the Ashmoun district in Menoufia, and a member of the "Future of the Nation" party, Ahmed El-Kheshen.
The BBC website quoted a person’s comment in which he said that “the feast contained 400 sheep, four calves, and 200 kilograms of shrimp.” Pictures showed it containing “turkeys,” and critics attacked the feast as an extravagance, and a new tradition in the Egyptian elections.
Neither the Ashmouni MP nor the "Future of a Nation" party was issued despite identical media reports, confirming or denying the incident.
