Egypt ruling party chief sees Mubarak stepping down

London–The head of Egypt's ruling party told the BBC on Thursday that he would be surprised if President Hosni Mubarak was still president on Friday.

"Yes, I would be, because I think the right thing to do now is to take the action that would satisfy…protesters," Hossam Badrawi told BBC television in a live interview.

"I see opportunity in this crisis because those young people middle-class, educated have achieved what all politicians did not in years in the past," he added.

Badrawi dismissed rumors that Mubarak might remain in a background role behind current Vice President Omar Suleiman.

"I don't think this is implementable," he said.
