MB boss in rare appearance on official TV
CAIRO – In a rare appearance on state Egyptian TV, Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohamed Badei Sunday denied his influential group seeks to dominate the new parliament.
"We do not seek to win the majority of seats in the Parliament, nor do we have a nominee for presidency," Badei, a veterinary professor, said. The Muslim Brotherhood, whose candidates used to run for Parliament as independents, gained one fifth of the legislature in the 2005 elections, but won a single seat in last year's polls, which were swept by president Hosni Mubarak's party.
