Parliamentary elections on Sunday will be “decisive for Egypt,” said General Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood opposition movement Mohamed Badie.
Badie went on to say that free and fair elections were "essential to the legitimacy of parliament, which, in turn, will lend legitimacy to the next president," who will be elected in elections slated for next year.
In a Tuesday interview on satellite news channel Al-Jazeera, Badie said that the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) of President Hosni Mubarak had repeatedly proven its own bankruptcy.
"It's time for the NDP to step down peacefully via the legal and constitutional process," he asserted.
