Brotherhood wants 'Islamic' president for Egypt

None

The influential Muslim Brotherhood wants an Egyptian president with an "Islamic background", its leader said, comments that would appear to rule out its support for a leading liberal like Amr Moussa in the forthcoming presidential election.

 

The Brotherhood won more seats than any other party in recent parliamentary elections and its capacity to mobilise voters will be an asset in Egypt's first competitive presidential race. (Reuters)
