Politics Review: Presidential Elections

I have been avoiding to write about the elections, since I am more into political economy than politics... but they are kinda related aren't they : ). And this is a transitional phase for all Egyptians...and any one who has little knowledge about the events taking place, has the responsibility to increase awareness. I'm writing this post upon demand.
I won't be convering every detail of the elections, but I may be stating some quick facts about the progress that is being done...
so far 67 people have applied for the applications needed for running the elections.
15 representing political parties, 52 independent
they include 3 copts and 1 female.
I also admire the move by Al-Wafd leader Noman Gomaa who took back the decision of boycotting the elections, and taking part in it... After all Al-Wafd is the second beggest political party in Egypt after the National Democratic Party.
Elections will take place on September the 7th.
Lets wait and see what will happen...
I will be posting some quick facts whenever I have any new+significant piece of info
