Start of Egypt\'s presidential election campaign

Election campaigns for the presidential candidates will end Sunday, just two days before the presidential elections, which are scheduled to take place on Wednesday May 23 and Thursday May 24. Presidential candidates are seeking to have a number of televised interviews in order to gain access to a large segment of voters via television channels in the next few days, as an alternative to electoral speeches and crowded conferences. However, others look forward to holding a larger number of conferences. On Sunday, a number of presidential candidates are to show up on TV channels, such as Hamdeen Sabahi, Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh and Amr Moussa. Meanwhile, the Muslim Brotherhood has announced that it will be holding 25 electoral conferences in 25 governorates, to be attended by leaders of Freedom and Justice Party (FJP). Morsy is to attend a number of them before the end of the campaign stage. The Higher Presidential Election Commission (HPEC), has set the end of election campaign, for two days before the presidential elections, in accordance with the electoral law.
