Egyptian reformers have demanded that, like Palestinians, they too should have a chance to choose their leader from a host of candidates. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who has won four presidential terms in referendums where he is the only candidate, earlier congratulated new Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas, who beat six other candidates. "The Palestinian people chose their president ... I think the Egyptian people are not naive, and are capable of choosing from among many candidates," said Hussain Abd al-Raziq, spokesman for the Egyptian Organisation for Human Rights (EOHR). He was speaking at a news conference called to announce that EOHR would work with six other human rights organisations and four opposition parties in a campaign to change the country's three-decade-old constitution.
