CAIRO (AFP) — One of Egypt's largest legal opposition parties, Al-Wafd, said it would field a candidate against President Hosni Mubarak in the September 7 poll.
"Doctor Numan Gumaa, the head of al-Wafd, will run for the presidential election," on September 7, the official MENA news agency reported.
The party had criticised changes to Egypt's constitution to allow for contested elections, charging like most of the opposition that registration conditions for candidates were too strict to mount a serious challenge to Mubarak.
