CAIRO - Veteran politician and the chairman of Egypt National Party, Talaat el-Sadat died on Sunday at the age of 64 due to a heart attack. He died before admitted to hospital. The outspoken Sadat, the nephew of late Egyptian president Anwar El-Sadat, widely known for his controversial remarks, was one of the strong critics of the regime of ousted president Hosni Mubarak. Sadat was imprisoned for a year in 2006 on charges of insulting the Egyptian army after accusing it of not doing enough to protect late president Anwar El-Sadat, who was assassinated in October 1981 during a ceremony commemorating the 1973 war triumph over Israel. However, after Egypt's January revolution, he praised the Army's “efforts to stop disorder” and said that the country should be ruled by a military man. Sadat changed camps and became the new president of the notorious National Democratic Party following the January revolution that ended the 30-year rule of strongman Mubarak. He vowed to improve its battered image, but did not have time to do so after an Egyptian court dismantled the party as part of the revolutionaries demands. He was in the process of establishing the Egypt National Party shortly before his death. Sadat is one of the candidates of the parliamentary elections, which are scheduled to be held on November 28. It was reported that Sadat was set to hold a conference this day in Menufia to support his party candidates.
