Chairman of Strong Egypt party Dr Abdel-Monem Aboul-Fotouh described June 30 as a revolutionary wave but dismissed the July 3 ouster of Mohamed Morsi as a military coup that delegitimised all elections based on it.


In an interview with Amr El-Leithy on Al-Mehwar channel, Aboul Fotouh pointed out that he urged Al-Sisi not to run for presidency.

He added that rejects the current constitution because it turns the military into an entity above the state.

Moreover, Aboul Fotouh added that a number of retired generals asked him to run for presidency. However, he stated that the results of the upcoming elections are known in advance. He confirmed that he would neither vote for Al-Sisi nor Sabbahi.
