The law requires that both of the candidate&#8217;s parents be only Egyptian.<\/p>\n<p>Final candidates include Hamdeen Sabahi, a leftwing pan-Arabist, and Abdel Moneim Abul Fotouh, a moderate Islamist who was expelled from the Muslim Brotherhood because he nominated himself when the movement had decided not to contest the election.<\/p>\n<p>The powerful group, whose political arm dominates parliament and the senate, later decided to field a candidate after it failed to persuade the military to sack the cabinet and appoint a Brotherhood-led one in its place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAIRO, Apr 26 &#8211; Egypt&#8217;s electoral committee announced on Thursday the list of 13 candidates for next month&#8217;s first post-uprising presidential poll after a tumultuous run-up that saw three disqualified.
