Muslim Brotherhood: We will not run in presidential race

The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition group, has said it will not nominate any of its members to run in the coming presidential election.
Essam al-Erian, a member of the Brotherhood's Guidance Bureau, said the group is also not seeking a parliamentary majority in the next parliamentary elections.
In statements to Egyptian Television on Tuesday, al-Erian said the group does however plan to form a political party as soon as the freedom to establish parties is provided for, according to the demands of protesters.
"We will then examine the platforms and personalities of all candidates who nominate themselves in the presidential election, and make a decision," said al-Arian.
