1. Leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi and liberal al-Wafd party leader Sayed al-Badawi are the latest of a number of prominent non-Islamist figures to publicly endorse for president the defense minister and coup architect, Gen. Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, should he decide to run next year. 2. “Endorsing Sissi is an indication of how weak they are and how worried they are about losing influence with the popular mood shifting. They need to improve their rhetoric. This is a big stumbling block for them.” 3. Hundreds of members, including former presidential candidate Khaled Ali, left the Socialist Popular Alliance over the weekend, citing poor leadership. A number of high-profile figures resigned last week from the liberal Dostour (Constitution) Party, founded by Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei.
