Dr. Muhammad Salīm al-'Awā, Islamic thinker and potential Presidential candidate, said during a rally in Luxor that he was not representing any party, and if there was a law stating that a candidate has to represent a party, he would not run in the elections.

He added that Egypt has to reconsider its relations with the United States and Israel as well as the return of bilateral relations with Iran.

'Awā, talking about the Egyptian system of ruling, said that it would be parliamentary, much like the French system.
