Youm7 obtained a copy of a request submitted by Iglal Salem to the chairman of the al-Wafd Party, El-Sayyed El-Badawi, requesting that he rescind the order to expel her. Salem was expelled by the party for her role as assistant coordinator for the election of Gamal Mubarak. The request had the signature of 28 members of the party's High Authority that supported her return to al-Wafd. Iglal told Youm7 her relationship with Gamal Mubarak's coalition ended before the January 25 Revolution. She said she withdrew immediately from the colaitoin after she discovered the reality of the coalition and its funders.
