Lawyer Mortada Mansour says he will run for Egypt's presidency

Former lawyer says his campaign involves jailing striking workers, bringing stability, amending Camp David accords, standing up to Qatar and allowing atheists to practice beliefs in the 'bathroom' only

Ahram Online , Sunday 6 Apr 2014

Outspoken and controversial lawyer Mortada Mansour announced on Sunday that he would run in Egypt's upcoming presidential elections, becoming the third candidate after former army chief Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi and leftist political figure Hamdeen Sabahi.

In a press conference held to announce his candidacy, Mansour said he was running in order to restore "order" to Egypt.

"Egypt is currently in a dark tunnel, we need to restore the state of order and law," he said.

Concerning his electoral program, Mansour promised to end all strikes and protests in the country.
