La campagne lancée pour convaincre le général Abdel Fatah Al-Sissi de se présenter aux prochaines élections présidentielles aurait recueilli 3 millions de signatures en 20 jours. Des manifestations sont prévues le 6 Octobre sur la place Tahrir et devant le Palais présidentiel pour le soutenir.
The “Kammel Gemilak” campaign head, Refa’i Nasrallah, said in a press conference that the campaign merged with four other campaigns for the same goal. Nasrallah added that the campaign will call for demonstrations on 6 October in Tahrir Square and in front of the Presidential Palace under the slogan “Returning the favour [to the Armed Forces] and supporting Al-Sisi for presidency”.
The National Coalition to Support Legitimacy announced earlier that they will organise marches against what they described as “the 3 July military coup” on the same day.
Nasrallah added that during the upcoming six weeks, the campaign plans to gather 30 million signatures “as a preliminary phase”, and the final goal of the campaign is to gather 50 million signatures in support of Al-Sisi. He also deemed the campaign an “extension to the 30 June Revolution and Tamarod (Rebellion) campaign” and thanked the Tamarod campaign for “enlightening the campaign’s way.”
Al-Adawy commented on Al-Sisi’s military background: “The army is full of patriotic men, but we chose Al-Sisi for his humanity.” He added that Al-Sisi is a “national hero” and that his nomination for presidency is “a demand and a dream”. Al-Adawy also announced that the campaign “is preparing a surprise that will change Al-Sisi’s position of not running for presidency.” He did not disclose what it entails.
