Anwar Sadat's National Democratic
Party claimed a landslide victory
yesterday in national elections for "the
Parliament of peace."
Party leaders said their candidates
were piling up large margins of victory
from Thursday's balloting in most of
the 376 districts electing legislators.
Results will not be announced until
today, but Cairo's official Middle East
News Agency said candidates who op-
posed Sadat's peace treaty with Israel
were being swamped. It gave no figures
but listed a number of opposition
politicians who lost their seats.
SADAT'S GOVERNMENT had
prohibited the candidates from
criticizing the treaty or making it a
political issue.
