| ElBaradei mulls running for Egypts presidency |
| 2009-12-05 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Former United Nations nuclear watchdog chief Mohammed ElBaradei said he would consider running for Egypt's presidency but only if the election process were democratic, in a statement published on Friday. ElBaradei, who ended his 12-year stint as the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Friday last week, said he had been closely following calls for him to stand, the Egyptian independent daily al-Dostour reported. But the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize winner conditioned the move on "guarantees of fairness," and for the 2011 presidential and parliamentary elections to "follow the process in democratic countries." |
