Chancellor Rifai Nasrallah, general coordinator of the “Complete Your Favor” campaign, has said that the campaign has so far collected more than 15 million signatures to pleas asking Defense Minister Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to run in the presidential elections.
“We target 50 million signatures,” Nasrallah said.
“The people of Egypt who overthrew Mubarak and Morsy are able to impose their will for Sisi to lead the country,” he said at a rally in Daqahliya.
“I am confident Sisi would accept,” he said. “For there is an agreement of honor between the people and Sisi to meet their wishes.”
He added that the campaign would organize million-man demonstrations and call for boycotting the elections if Sisi does not nominate himself.
