Egypt’s most chaotic election produced not only allegations of fraud, but a subtle and consequential judicial shift: military service was recast as a condition of political eligibility. A discretionary administrative exclusion was turned into a permanent bar from office, with far-reaching effects for opposition candidates and democratic representation. Through technical legal reasoning rather than overt repression, courts reshape electoral competition and redistribute political power.
