Whatever the Supreme Constitutional Court’s ruling would be on Thursday, everyone should accept and respect it, said Nasserist former presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabbahi on Wednesday.
“We hope that the ruling of the court will be a way out of the crisis in Egypt,” he said.
Sabbahi posted on Twitter that there is a “need to respect the decisions of the Egyptian judiciary, regardless of what it is. [My] struggle to complete the revolution will continue from any position.”
On Thursday, two days before Egypt’s presidential runoff, the Supreme Constitutional Court will rule on whether the Political Isolation Law, which would ban former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq from the presidential election, is constitutional. It would also consider whether the rules governing the parliamentary elections were valid.
Shafiq’s rival in the runoff is the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsy. Sabbahi came in third after the first round of the election, while moderate former Brotherhood member Abdel Moneim Abouel Fotouh came in fourth.
