Egypt's presidential candidates finalizedon Sunday their electoral campaigns two days before the historicvote. All forms of electoral campaigns by the candidates during the48-hour silence period are banned. They cannot hold any meetings orparticipate in rallies to promote their programs or appear in mediainterviews. Former Arab League chief Amr Moussa, who concluded his last trailsto gain more votes, told a conference in Behirah Governance, northof Cairo that "the Egyptians are moving to cast their votes notonly for choosing a person whom they can trust his nationalism,experiences and ability to lead the country, but also to determinetheir destiny and choose a way for democracy, freedom and dignity." "The choices are clear, either to put Egypt on the right path ofachieving the uprising's goals, transform Egypt into a realdemocratic state with competitive economy, or to enter the vortexof regional and domestic disputes due to wrong concepts andmethods," he added, calling on all the citizens to vote andparticipate in choosing a future for Egypt. Moussa added that "I can see the future of Egypt, a strong countrywith Muslims and Coptics, men and women without discrimination ormarginalization, a country which can eliminate poverty, and breakthe vicious circle of illiteracy, unemployment". Ex-Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq, a candidate from ex-President HosniMubarak's era, pledged to create constant security, comprehensivejustice and balanced development in the middle class. Attacking Muslim Brotherhood (MB) movement, Shafiq said, "Egypt isa moderate country with an Islamic reference which emerges fromAzhar institution," criticizing the extremist movements which tryto drag Egypt to the old ages. Shafiq reiterated although the Islamists got their chance in theparliament, but it was obvious now that MB wants to control allpowers and institutions. He criticized those who call for a president on a religious base,"We are all Muslims and Christians believing in God, and the simpleEgyptians don't seek a president to teach them religion but apresident who can create jobs and provide food." Shafiq played down the counter campaigns which said his candidacywill bring demonstrations to Tahrir square, considering it a weakpublicity of other competitors who seek chaos in Egypt. In intensified efforts of the last hours to gain trust of morevoters, MB's political arm Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) chairmanMohamed Morsi addressed a popular assembly in Port Said, northCairo, saying "Egyptians will choose their president with freedomand will, and no body will dare to hinder the people's will." He affirmed the "renaissance project" which he adopts is not adream but an applicable plan. Meanwhile, according to the independent local polls Sunday, AhmedShafiq ranked the first, followed by Moussa and then Abdel- MoneimAbul Fotouh. Sabahi came in the forth place, followed by MohamedMorsi. The first presidential vote, after the fall of ex-PresidentHosni Mubarak in February 2011, is set to be held on Wednesday andThursday. However, due to fierce competition, it is unlikely toproduce an outright winner in the first round. A run-off will beheld in mid June. Secretary General of the Higher Presidential Election Commission(HPEC), Hatem Bagato, said Saturday the commission has finalizedall arrangements to facilitate the electoral process. He added HPEC granted licenses to three foreign organizations and49 local ones to observe the upcoming elections.
