A number of activists on the "Facebook" called for nominating Gamal Mubarak, the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) Assistant Secretary-General, for the post of the head of the Egyptian Business Association, in his capacity as an accountant. Moreover, more than other 58 groups, on the same site, called for nominating Gamal Mubarak for the presidential elections. A number of activists opposing Gamal Mubarak's nomination for the presidency, opened a group on the Facebook under the name "Together for selecting Gamal Mubarak as head of the Business Association." Accountant Ahmed Imam, founder of the group, said Gamal Mubarak has become a candidate for the presidency only because he is the President's son. If he were not the President's son, his great ambition was to nominate himself for the Business Association. The number of subscribers in this group did not exceed 170, most of them refused to mock at Gamal Mubarak. They seriously called on him to do that; to be a step in the way of his arrival to the presidency.
For his part, Sharif Qassem, Secretary General of Cairo Business Association, welcomed the proposal for nominating Gamal Mubarak as head of the Business Association, because this would solve the association's problems with Ahmed Ezz and Minister of Finance Youssef Boutros Ghali. "Gamal Mubarak is not a member in the association. I asked him to nominate himself, but he said he had no time," Qassem added. On the other hand, Gamal Mubarak's supporters launched 58 groups on the Facebook, including over 50,000 subscribers. The campaign is led by With You Movement. In addition, there are other 15 groups with more than 12,000 subscribers, under the name "Young People with Gamal Mubarak" and "Youth for Supporting Gamal Mubarak". All subscribers showed desire to participate in Gamal Mubarak's electoral campaign.
