The decision by Egypt\'s election commission to bar 10 candidates from the presidential elections for failing to adhere to the legal criteria has thrown the campaigns of other front-runners in the spotlight. Abdelmoneim Aboul Fotouh and Amr Moussa are seen to be the leading contenders after political powerhouses Omar Suleiman, Khairat al-Shater and Hazem Abu Ismail were disqualified. Aboul Fotouh, 60, was part of a moderate reform wing in the Brotherhood until his expulsion. His candidacy has won the approval of Sheikh Yousef al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian cleric based in Qatar who is influential in the Brotherhood and beyond. A medical doctor, Fotouh has also started to win support outside the Islamist movement among secular-minded Egyptians looking for someone committed to democratic reform. Meanwhile, Moussa, who describes himself as a liberal nationalist, is also likely to win votes among secular-minded Egyptians worried about the dramatic gains made by Islamists in the year since Mubarak was toppled. The 75-year old, a former Egyptian foreign minister, has also move squarely back to the heart of the race thanks to Tuesday’s disqualifications. Moussa is due to launch his campaign manifesto on Wednesday in a slum on the outskirts of Cairo.
