Multiple reports claimed that Ramzy had submitted his candidacy papers for the parliamentary elections in Minya district.
In a statement, the actor revealed that it was his brother, counselor Ehab Ramzy, who is running for parliament.
"My brother is a candidate on the National Unified List for Egypt, and as a routine procedure, he asked for a backup name, thus he chose mine," he stated.
