He stated: “We have nothing to do with the new group which launched a campaign that calls upon Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi to run for president. We are currently in a transitional phase and are not a substitute for legitimate power but are here to ensure the safe handing over of power to a civilian elected authority following the parliamentary, shura and presidential elections”.
