The other prominent challenger is law professor Noaman Gomaa, 71, leader of the New Wafd Party, a nationalist group formed in 1919 that promises to liberalize the economy and enact political reforms. The Muslim Brotherhood, a banned but tolerated group with widespread appeal among Egyptians (its candidates, run as independents, constitute the biggest single opposition bloc in parliament) called on its supporters to vote - but not for a "tyrant."
