EGYPT - The countdown for the presidential race has begun. In only nine days, Egyptians will head to the polls to vote for Egypt's first post-Mubarak head of state. Thirteen candidates of different political backgrounds are vying for the presidency, but among Egypt's artistic community, only a few of these have received a warm reception. Among the candidates most popular among the arts crowd are leftist Khaled Ali, Nasserist Hamdeen Sabbahi and – in some cases – moderate Islamist Abdel-Moneim Abul-Fotouh. [link]
