The Coptic Orthodox, Catholic and Evangelical Churches decided to leave the dialogue because there was no clear agenda.  The third session of the national dialogue concerned the appointment of 90 members of the Shūrá, the Upper House, after the office of the President had asked the political parties and churches to propose their candidates. The number of seats consecrated for the three churches are eight (four for the Orthodox, two for the Catholic, and two for the Evangelical).
