Mubarak's last PM backs army's Sisi for Egyptian president
None
Former Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq says he will back army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi for president in an election expected next year. Shafiq, a former air force commander who came second in last year's presidential election, said he would not run if Sisi did.
Sisi has said he does not seek authority though speculation he will run has mounted since he toppled the Muslim Brotherhood's Mursi from the presidency on July 3. Sisi is widely expected to win if he runs. (Reuters)
