Dozens try to run for president after rare window to elections opens

gulf-news.com

Dozens of Egyptians with no connection to political parties lined up last week to apply to run for president in the September 7 elections movie extras, technicians, retired government employees, drivers and even a convicted assassin of former president Anwar Sadat.

Mass communications professor Mohamoud Kamel, from Menoufia, 60 km north of Cairo, presented a three-page platform that included cancelling all presidential ceremonies and fancy entourages to save money for helping the poor.

Kamel's family laughed at him when he first got the idea of running. "So I waited until they went to the beach and came here to register," he said with a smile.

Mohammad Mustafa, 41, a financial consultant, said his main programme was subsidising beef, chicken and pasta.
