Dr. Mahmūd al-Saqā, the al-Wafd parliamentary candidate for al-Duqqī and al-‘Ajūzah district in Cairo, "fiercely” attacked the district’s NDP candidate, Dr. Āmāl al-Shazlī, for issuing a statement to Copts claiming al-Saqā to be a member of he Muslim Brotherhood masquerading as a member of the al-Wafd. al-Saqā denied the claims and said that it is typical of National Democratic Party candidates to resort to unethical comments as soon as they sense defeat.

Key Words: Cairo - Dr. Mahmūd al-Saqā - Dr. Āmāl al-Shazlī – Muslim Brotherhood
