Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on 24 May 1926.[1] The result was a victory for the Wafd Party, winning 150 or 156 of the 215 seats.[1][2]
The ruling Ittihad Party led by Prime Minister Ahmed Ziwar Pasha and Minister of Finance Yahya Ibrahim Pasha, while clinging to power, was too weak to carry out an effective campaign. It failed to nominate more than 66 candidates, even far less than the seats won by the Wafdists.[2]
