Mubarak's son enhances position, denied running for parliament

During the conference of the National Democratic Party conference which was concluded on Friday, Jamal Mubarak, the son of the Egyptian president who presides over the higher committee for policies enhanced his position.

He vowed in his speech before the conference on Thursday to introduce more constitutional and legislative reforms in order to develop the party life and enrich pluralism and political competition and opening new horizons for the freedom of the opinion and expression.

The younger son for the Egyptian president said "we recall together today the general 8th congress of 2002, when the party stood before a moment with the self in which it entrusted the inevitability of making change, stressing that the party should launch the next parliamentary elections confidence in the vision and the views achieved since that conference."

Jamal Mubarak promised to improve public services and improve the quality of education and health care through stretching the umbrella of health insurance for every Egyptian citizen.

Jamal Mubarak denied news on his nomination for the elections of the next parliament. He refused in a press conference that followed his speech to give a clear answer on the possibility of running in future presidential elections in 2011, saying that this is premature.

Worthy mentioning that Jamal Mubarak started since 2003 to get out of the shadow of his father to assume running the affairs of the ruling party, and to become the leader of what he called the "new guards" in confrontation of the "old guards" reflected in the main Egyptian political faces prominent since more than three decades.
