In September 2005, Egyptian presidential elections coincided with German partisan elections that qualify for the post of German Counsellor. In spite of the difference in objective and type of electoral battles, as well as nature of partisan disputes in the two countries, yet there are some aspects of resemblance. At the level of the electoral battle in Egypt, the door was opened in front of free selection from among several partisan candidates – one from each party – to be settled through voters of free will. German elections have taken place in an atmosphere, where a profound political awareness prevailed on behalf of the German citizen. The deeply-rooted Egyptian German relations are not expected to be disturbed or hampered, concerning friendship and mutual respect, as well as constructive cooperation in all domains, under any newly formed German government.
