Nasserite presidential hopeful, Hamdeen Sabbahi, will officially submit his application to become a candidate in the presidency on Friday at midday. A group of Sabahi's supporters will join him at the presidential electoral commission which is supervising the elections, where he will register for presidency.
Sabbahi has succeeded in gathering more than 30,000 signatures in total from different governorates around Egypt, according to a statement released by Sabahi's campaign Tuesday.
The presidential hopeful will conduct a press conference on Friday before the commission, where he will give a glimpse of his presidential programme.
Sabbahi is a veteran Nasserist opposition figure and former member of the People's Assembly. He is also an outspoken critic of the United States and Israel.
Sabbahi officially announced his presidential bid in March 2011, opting to run on an independent ticket and not through the Karama Party, which he founded.
He did not run in the parliamentary elections later that year, in order to focus on the presidential contest.
Presidential elections will take place on 23 and 24 May, and the president will be named on 21 June after a run-off voting round on 16 and 17 June.
