Egypt's prime minister said on Tuesday it was still too early to expect President Hosni Mubarak to decide whether to run again for president in a 2011 election, and sought to reassure investors over the issue of succession.
"I think it is not fair for the president to take that decision two years in advance. I don't think any president ... would be able to do that," Ahmed Nazif said in a Reuters Middle East Investment Summit, saying Mubarak was in "good health." When asked if the president's son, Gamal Mubarak, had the capability to take the job, Nazif said: "I see him as a possibility, why not?" (Reuters)
