Presidential Elections
Only 6 days are left for the elections. Do we know who are the candidates? Even if we know their names, do we know what their plans are? We may know some things about Mubarak with his super optimistic plan to combat unemployment by providing 4.5m job opportunities and we may know some things about Al-Wafd Leader Noman Gomaa. We also know few things about Ayman Nour. Lets recap
- Mubarak, president for 24 years and he has very optimistic plans that seem to be unrealistic, the question most of us are asking now is "if there is a 6 year plan to fix the unemployment problem what have we been waiting for?"
- Noman Gomaa is a leader of a very credible party which has a significant history, but is he the right person? someone who believes his party should've boycotted this election? And what about his plan? Doesn't it seem to be very similar to The National Democratic Party's?
- Ayman Noor might also seem controversial, being imprisoned and having a case. But if you look at his plan on http://www.vote4nour.com/ he seems to have a more realistic plan and he seems to be a good choice.
- The others are names we've never heard about, not even about their parties... But only few days ago I managed to have the chance to listen to them on TV ( not local channels; local channels only show you part of their campaign and short interviews with them mostly covering their personal life! ) I must say I wasn't expecting them to be qualified to this extent. Some of them do have plans that make some sense. For example Dr Fawzy is proposing a new corpuscle division of some governarates that are suffering from high population and the nature of their land is agricultural.
- Al Oksori is suggesting a communist regime, war with Israel and a nuclear power
- Al Turk seems to be a credible accountant who also has an economic background.
