Early parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on 6 April 1987, with a second round for nine seats on 13 April.[1] They followed a change in the electoral law, approved by a referendum in February, which would allow independent candidates to run in the election. The result was a victory for the ruling National Democratic Party, which won 346 of the 458 seats.[2] Following the election, the People's Assembly nominated incumbent Hosni Mubarak for the post of president, whose candidacy was put to voters in a referendum on 5 October.

Voter turnout was reported to be 50.45%,[1] but was estimated to be closer to 25%.[3]
