                     Egyptian Leftist Running for President

   Leftist Egyptian politician Hamdeen Sabbahi has announced he will run
   for president in this year`s election.
   Sabbahi told his supporters in Cairo Saturday that he will wage a clear
   battle for the revolution.
   Sabbahi finished third in the 2012 election that brought Mohamed Morsi
   to power. Sabbahi became a constant critic of the Islamist Morsi until
   the army toppled him last year.
   Sabbahi is likely to face-off in the upcoming election against army
   chief Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, who has yet to declare his candidacy.
   Many Egyptian observers believe Field Marshal el-Sissi would enjoy
   broad support if he runs.
