Egypt's Ministers were keen to take part on the first day of parliamentary elections, kicked off earlier today Saturday at 9:00 am.

Mohamed Maait, Minister of Finance cast his vote at Khaled bin Waleed school in the 6th of October city.

On her part, El-Qabbage said that participating in the electoral process is a 'national duty', calling on citizens to choose their right MP.
