Egypt enters the last stage of its first democratic presidential race on Monday, April 30, with its field narrowing to a two-horse race between Amr Moussa, the urbane former head of the Arab League, and Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, a charismatic Islamist medic jailed for years under Hosni Mubarak, Reuters reported. A poll published in the al-Ahram newspaper on Monday showed Moussa in the lead, followed by Aboul Fotouh, who has emerged in recent days as the leading Islamist candidate after securing the support of the ultra-conservative Salafist movement. Both men are well ahead of 11 other candidates and, for now, look the most likely to face each other in a second round. A first round will be held on May 23-24, followed by an expected second round run-off in June.
