The leader who was removed from office after a popular uprising in February 2011 told a reporter from Al-Masry Al-Youm during a phone interview to “vote for Sisi” and that there was no option “other than than him”.
Mubarak also criticised Sisi’s main rival, Hamdeen Sabahi, describing him as “not capable of becoming Egypt’s president”. He also expressed caution about the Muslim Brotherhood’s reaction to a Sisi presidency, warning that the country needed to maintain a “high degree of vigilance”.
Sabahi’s election team called the comments a “badge of honour” and added that “corrupt Mubarak regime cronies” were behind a campaign against the presidential hopeful, also according to Al-Masry Al-Youm.
