Egypt media reports General Secretariat of the Freedom and Justice Party Mohamed Saad El-Katatni said after winning the majority of Parliamentary seats, the biggest challenge for the Islamic trend, especially for the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), is to maintain the confidence of the voters. Head of German Parliament Norbert Lammert said the situation in Egypt is not only difficult but it may lead to unexpected results. He added it is good for Egypt to witness new elections but the influence of the election results on the political situations in the country is unclear as of yet. Youm7: “For all the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) members, we are still in Tahrir Square,” FJP leader in Giza Ayman Sadek said after the FJP gained the lead in the first round of the parliamentary elections, which lead to an excessive self-confidence and arrogance. Some party leaders had intense meetings with the candidates to maintain the absence of arrogance in the second and third rounds. “It is unfair to compare Egypt with any other country's regime, such as Turkey or Iran. Democratic countries were brought up by mediated Islamic trends and we have to respect the others' regime,” al-Katatni said. Al-Ahram: An International Medical Center official source said former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is not subject to any chemotherapy to treat any tumors because he is not diagnosed with cancer. Professor of tumor treatment and head of the medical team Yasser Abdel Kader was appointed by the court to follow Mubarak's case and finished the last medical report he has been preparing for two months to be submitted to the court. The report showed Mubarak is not affected with cancer. Al-Masry Al-Youm: Famous broadcaster and journalist Emad el-Din Adeeb said the clashes between the military council and the upcoming Parliament is like a chemical equation.
