We now have three contenders in the presidential race, but none of them has presented specific solutions to the nation’s very specific problems, Ahmed Galal writes in Al Masry Al Youm. He says that President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, Sami Anan, and Khaled Ali have all been fixating on what has been happening in the past — whether positive or negative — and are yet to articulate a vision for the future. The nominees also have not addressed the very pressing issue of reforming the country’s political landscape, which currently lacks active parties. In any case, Al Shorouk’s Emad El Din Hussein isn’t holding his breath for Anan, who he says may very well drop out of the race as he continues to be suspected of corruption during his time as military chief of staff.
