Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood May Nominate Presidential Candidate
(Washington Post) Leila Fadel - Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood said Wednesday that it is considering reversing a year-old pledge not to put forward a candidate for president in the election, set to begin May 23. Brotherhood spokesman Mahmoud Ghozlan said the group's governing body has found none of the declared candidates worthy of its support. The Brotherhood had also pledged to compete for only about a third of the seats in parliament but now holds about half the seats.
