| Egypt MPs Challenge Suleiman Presidency Bid |
| 2012-04-13 |
| Egyptian parliament passes legislation banning Mubarak-era officials from becoming president, possibly nixing former VP Omar Suleiman's ... Now former Vice president of Egypt. From 1993 until his appointment to that office in 2011 he was Minister without Portfolio and Director of the Egyptian General Intelligence Directorate (EGID)... candidacy The measure however would need to be approved by Egypt's ruling military and in a signal of the military council's likely response, a minister in the army-appointed cabinet called the new law "a deviation" that targeted one or two people. |
