CAIRO – Egypt's is not in a dilemma, but it is in a better shape compared with other countries who have similar revolutions, Saad el-Din Ibrahim, an Egyptian-US political activist and the head of Ibn Khaldun Centre for Development Studies in Cairo, said on Thursday. "The situation in Egypt would be stable within a year after the parliamentary and presidential elections take place and police take charge of their complete role," el-Din told the official Middle East News Agency (MENA). He called for delaying parliamentary elections, which were scheduled in September, to be held within at least 12 months, warning that if the elections are held in September, Muslim Brotherhood and the remnants of Mubarak's regime will share the majority of seats. El-Dinn elaborates that the delay of elections will give new political parties a chance to be ready to competitive electoral campaigns.
