"Egyptians feel depressed because don't have the benefits of the revolution yet," the likely presidential candidate and the labor party secretary, Magdy Hussein, said. Hussein described the transition phase Egypt goes is a worrying phase. "The poll carried out by on the military forces page aims to improve former Vice-President, Omar Soliman's, image," said Hussein. "We refuse prejudice towards a particular candidate. The army may lose credibility this way.” Hussein asked the army to return to its barracks on borders in order to protect Egypt, particularly with what is happening in Libya. “There is an Islamic Party under formation that will merge with the labor party," said Hussein. He denied the labor party issued any statements indicating that Hussein participates in the elections under the party name.
