Weeks after the Muslim Brotherhood declared they will not field a candidate for the presidency, questions arise about how far they will stick to their promise, especially since MB member Abul Fotouh announced to run for President as an independent. Supporter say he is determined to run for President despite pressure on him to back down. Abul Fotouh's presidential bid has raised confusion inside the Brotherhood. Still, it will not lead to a serious rift, say analysts. Abul Fotouh's chances of becoming president depend on the alliances he makes with religious and civil groups in Egypt.
