The reactions to Muslim Brotherhood member Abdel-Moneim Abul-Fotouh's announcement that he intends to run for the presidency vary considerably. One reaction is that his announcement signifies that he has effectively severed his relationship with the Brotherhood. Another predicts that he will face an inquiry within days. A third disagrees and argues that no action will be taken against him until he makes his nomination official. Meanwhile, many Muslim Brotherhood youth support Abul-Fotouh and are prepared to sacrifice their relationship with Egypt's Islamist organization in order to campaign for him. Abul-Fotouh and his supporters are already actively campaigning. His announcement has opened the Muslim Brotherhood to suspicion that it is playing a double-game: it issues a prohibition, then one of its leaders violates it; it feigns anger – but the reality is that there is now a Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate.
