The National Democratic Party , which has never lost an election, is sure to win all but a handful of seats that may be mopped up by minor parties with no significant grass-roots support, after the Muslim Brotherhood and the liberal Wafd party pulled out. With the Brotherhood sidelined from formal politics, the government's critics have one less platform for attack as Egypt heads towards a 2011 presidential election whose outcome is more uncertain. Mubarak, 82, has no vice president -- unlike his two predecessors -- and no clear successor after 29 years at the helm of the Arab world's most populous country. Many Egyptians say he may be grooming his 46-year-old son for power but analysts say Gamal Mubarak lacks the common touch, and the support from the military, that helped cement his father's 29-year tenure. The scale of the government's first-round win last Sunday was a surprise. Political analysts had expected the Brotherhood to pick up at least some seats but it won none. Other opposition parties and independents won 12 seats. The state High Elections Commission said there were reports of some irregularities but not enough to discredit the vote. WASHINGTON DISMAYED The United States, Egypt's main ally and a major donor, said it was "dismayed" by the reports of disruption of campaign activities, arrests of supporters and the denial of access to the media for some opposition voices. Cairo University Politics Professor Hassan Nafaa said: "This delegitimizes the system, and if there are intentions for Gamal Mubarak to be the next presidential candidate, there will be more room for people to question the credibility of such an act." A state news website quoted sources as saying on Friday that there could be a cabinet reshuffle, but Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif was likely to stay in place. The Muslim Brotherhood, which campaigns for an Islamic state and skirts a ban on religious parties by fielding candidates as independents, held 86 seats in the outgoing parliament. After winning no first round seats, it said on Wednesday it was pulling out of the second-round runoffs, in which it had 26 candidates. Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie said this year that squeezing out the group with its moderate Islamist views risked spurring on violent Islamic movements. Wafd, the next biggest opposition group, won two seats in the first round but has said it will not take them up. The departure of the main opposition parties does not mean passion will be entirely absent from Sunday's run-offs: rival candidates from the NDP will face off in 114 seats. Several outbreaks of violence and injuries reported during last week's vote were linked to clashes between ruling party candidates. "Self-interest and benefits are the main motives behind joining the NDP. There is always rivalry between NDP candidates who compete to the point of violence to get to parliament," said Amr Hamzawi of the Carnegie Middle East Centre in Beirut. Egypt's High Administrative Court on Saturday criticised the election commission for allowing elections to proceed in 24 districts last week despite court rulings halting them after many opposition candidates complained of being disqualified. The court said in a statement: "The High Elections Commission's non-implementation of previous rulings nullifies the results , making the composition of the People's Assembly fraught with the suspicion of invalidity."
