Potential presidential candidate Mohamed Selim al-Awa arrived in Tahrir Square with a number of the leaders of the Wasat Party, including the president of the party, Aboul Ela Madi and his vice president, Essam Sultan. Al-Awa welcomed a timetable for the parliamentary elections, expressing his concerns with delaying the elections six months. A number of political groups increased their calls for a million-man demonstration scheduled for next Friday. Egypt's political activist, Amr Hamzawy, announced that he would participate in demonstrations rejecting the new electoral law, demanding a cessation of military trials for civilians, repealing the emergency law, and isolating figures from the former ruling party, the National Democratic Party.
