Egyptian presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabbahi said the meeting of presidential candidates yesterday was to discuss the events in Egypt during the current period and how to deal with them. The top priority is to push Egypt's ruling military council to set a scheduled timetable to hand over power to civilians and return to their original role. Sabbahi said he does not fear Islamic dominance in the next parliamentary elections, "I have no fear of Islamist participation in political life and they will not get majority votes in the parliamentary elections whatever they do. Egypt is representative of all ideologies; liberal, secular, Muslim and Christian." Various parties did not decide whether they would participate in the demonstrations called for Friday September 20, according to Sabbahi during his meeting with the social democratic party headquarters yesterday.
