Ayman Nour

Egyptian politician

Ayman Abd El Aziz Nour (Egyptian Arabic: أيمن عبد العزيز نور, IPA:[ˈʔæjmænʕæbdelʕæˈziːzˈnuːɾ]; born 5 December 1964) is an Egyptian politician, a former member of the Egyptian Parliament, founder and chairman of the El Ghad party.[1]

Nour was the first person to compete against PresidentHosni Mubarak in the 2005 presidential election. Shortly after announcing his candidacy, he was stripped of his parliamentary immunity and arrested on 29 January 2005, a move that was widely criticized by governments around the world as a step backwards for Egyptian democracy. Under international pressure, Nour was released to participate in the election, which was widely considered to be corrupt and rigged. His presidential bid was ultimately unsuccessful. He was arrested again shortly afterward and released nearly five years later.

Political career

Nour was named the first secretary of Misr Party and the editor-in-chief of the party's newspaper with the same name in October 2001.[2]

Nour moved into politics in the 1990s and served as a member of the Egyptian parliament from 1995 to 2005. He formed the El-Ghad party in 2004 in order to run for the presidency in 2005. Nour came second in the presidential poll, getting 8 per cent of the vote, compared with incumbent president Hosni Mubarak’s 89 per cent. Nour alleged that the vote had been rigged. He was later imprisoned by Mubarak on charges of forging signatures to register the El-Ghad party. He was released from prison in 2009 on health grounds.

Following the overthrow of Mubarak’s regime, Nour has stated his intention to run for the presidency once more.
