In an attempt to ease the tension between protesters in al-Tahrīr square and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), 65 activists and public figures suggest opening up nominations for presidential candidates on 25 January, closing the nomination period on the anniversary of former President Husnī Mubārak's resignation on 11 February. The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) suggests pursuing the timetable to hand over power, while the Salafī al-Nūr (light) Party suggests canceling the Shurá Council, making a constitutional declaration that would limit the privileges of the President and handing responsibility of forming the government to the People's Assembly.
