Egypt sets presidential vote for September 2011

None

Egypt will hold its presidential election in September next year and the ruling party will meet by July to choose its candidate, the party's policy chief - the president's son Gamal Mubarak - said on Monday.

 

The approach of the election has prompted speculation over whether President Hosni Mubarak, who has led the Arab world's most populous country since 1981, will run for a sixth term. (Reuters)
