Urgent Matters Court bans Mubarak's party from running in upcoming elections
Daily News Egypt Published in Daily News Egypt on 06 - 05 - 2014

The Cairo Urgent Matters Court banned on Tuesday leaders of the now-dissolved National Democratic Party (NDP) from running in the upcoming presidential, parliamentary and local councils elections.
The NDP was dissolved in 2011, shortly after former President Hosni Mubarak was toppled. Mubarak occupied the party's chairmanship since he became president in 1981 until his ouster.
Party leaders also included Mubarak's son Gamal, who was the party's Policies' Secretariat, and steel-tycoon Ahmed Ezz, who served as the party's head.
The Alexandria Urgent Matters Court had banned any Muslim Brotherhood member from running in any of the upcoming elections, reported state television.
The floor for running in the 2014 presidential elections has already been closed over two weeks ago. Former Defence Minister Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and Nasserist Hamdeen Sabahy are the only two candidates.
