Presidential Hopefuls Determine Position from Army

Presidential candidates have started to open the thorny issue of the Armed Forces role and powers and their position from SCAF if they succeeded in the upcoming elections.

Dr. Mohamed Morsi, MB’s presidential candidate, said that if he came to power, he will

negotiate with SCAF the selection of the Minister of Defense; however, “The military junta will not have the upper hand on this issue.” Morsi said that the MB will not dominate the country if he was elected but he will seek to represent all Egyptians and will perform his role according to the constitution not the MB’s set of regulations.

Dr. Mohamed Selim Al-Awa, presidential candidate, said that SCAF generals succeeded

in protecting the January 25 revolution but they had their mistakes. “SCAF generals have to be held responsible for the mistakes they committed and no one will be above the law,” said Al-Awa. He also expressed his complete rejection of any reasons that might postpone presidential elections.

Amr Moussa, presidential candidate, accused some political powers of using Tahrir

Square to tarnish his reputation. He described the chants against presidential candidates in protests as a “negative phenomenon that will lead to chaos in Tahrir Square.”

Tantawi: SCAF Does Not Support Any Presidential Candidate

Following the rather divided million-man march in Tahrir Square last Friday, Head of the ruling Supreme Council of Armed Forces Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi ignored referring or commenting on the escalating crisis of drafting the constitution before holding the presidential elections.

Field Marshal Tantawi came out with strong statement confirming that Egypt will not

submit to the will of one political group. He reiterated SCAF’s commitment to hand over power to a civilian elected authority. He also stressed that all the segments of the Egyptian society should be represented in the constitution-drafting assembly.

As the presidential race heats up, Tantawi said that he is confident that the Egyptian

people who revolted on January 25 to demand freedom, democracy and justice are able to elect their new president. He also confirmed that the Armed Forces will remain neutral towards all presidential candidates and political parties and will not support any candidate in the upcoming presidential elections.

Tantawi gave these statements on the sidelines of the maneuver “Badr 2” by one of the

formations of the Third Field Army on Saturday.

The Danger of Delay

Judge Id al-Bayyoumi warned of the bad consequences of any delay in the presidential elections.

Updates on Presidential Elections in Shurouk

Al-Shurouk singled out two pages to highlight the high cost of presidential campaigns.

TV advertisement came first in influence and cost (24 thousand Egyptian Pounds per minute), while posters were more spread and less cost. Street advertisement banners try to impress people. One hundred thousand pounds is the cost of a full page advertisement in newspapers and 50 thousands for outdoor banners per month.

Al-Shurouk also highlighted the important role of the Internet social networks as an effective and cheap way of advertisement.

On page 8, al-Shurouk provided a comparison between Khairat al-Shater, excluded candidate of the Muslim brotherhood and Mahmoud Mursi who replaced him in the presidential race.

Al-Shurouk presents al-Shater as a strategic person who plans rather than executes. It also referred to his cardiac problems and diabetes. Al-Shter spent many years in prison and his ideas are very close to Salafism. He rejects women’s travel without a “Mahrim” [a man of direct relation with the woman; father, brother, son or husband]

On the other hand, Mursi is presented as an executive person who plans and executes. He is newly bearded. He had a tumor surgery in the brain. He was imprisoned for short periods. Al-Shurouk is easier with women’s issues. He is a teacher.

In another context, presidential candidate Amr Mussa indirectly criticized the self-determination demonstrations of Friday where his photo was raised on a banner reading “no for the former regime.”

Mussa accused some political players of using the revolution to serve their own interests in the presidential race.

Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied being involved in excluding Hazim Salah Abu Ismail and supporting Umar Suleiman [who was also excluded].

A Temporary Constitution

Leaked news from the ongoing talks about the Constituent Assembly Crisis suggests an alleged tendency to draft a temporal constitution for 10 years to get out of the crisis.

Informed sources told al-Yom al-Sabei that the suggested constitution would be an amended copy of the 1971 Constitution. Article five about the president will be amended and an extra article about the transitional period will be added.

In a related context, Field Marshal Tantwi’s meeting with the political parties and payers was postponed to Thursday.

Supreme Constitutional Court Says Political Isolation Bill Does Not Fall Within its Purview

The Supreme Constitutional Court said that issuing a ruling on the political isolation bill does not fall within its jurisdiction.

The court is not specialized in reviewing laws before their enactment, it said.

Under the bill, which introduces amendments to the law governing the exercise of political rights, no person who worked as a president, vice president, prime minister or led the once-ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) can exercise their political rights, which include voting or running in the parliamentary or presidential elections for the coming 10 years. The amendments also covered members of the NDP's general secretariat and political bureau. Head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi had referred the bill after it was passed by parliament on April 12 to the court for examination.

The State Commissioner’s Authority, which gives recommendations, has looked into the amendments and finished a report on them. The authority had said the bill was non-constitutional because it violates the Constitutional Declaration.
