He then postponed his announcement that he wouldn\u2019t run when Shafik withdrew because he had yet to collect the required citizen or MP endorsements (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FCkKYc0xau8\">watch, runtime: 3:16<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moussa\u2019s lawyer, Samir Elewa, phoned in to reassure Lamees that Moussa has a university degree<\/strong> \u2014 as is legally required of a presidential candidate \u2014 in architecture from a French university. He then acted as Moussa\u2019s verbal LinkedIn profile, telling Lamees that he is a businessman with several major companies under his belt (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZS7bYWUdVkw\">watch, runtime: 3:36<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>In non-election coverage, Transport Minister Hisham Arafat gave Lamees the rundown on new railway ticket prices, which are coming into effect. <\/strong>Tickets for short-distance trains that travel between Cairo\u2019s suburbs rise 80%, which could come to EGP 2-3.

(Last <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/01\/17\/aeroflot-wont-operate-moscow-cairo-flights-until-late-february-ceo-says\/\">we heard from the Ruskies<\/a>, Aeroflot will not be operating any flights between the two capitals until late February). Aglan also said that flights to Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada could see a comeback in April, once Russia\u2019s presidential elections are through. Once Russian tourists return to Egypt, they could generate between USD 4 and 5 bn in tourism revenues for the country, Aglan said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LMFUJQ_rLmA\">watch, runtime: 7:32<\/a>). Based on statements from Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, which we note in the speed round, we will take Aglan\u2019s comments with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"634962\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"634962\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/30\/its-a-two-horse-race-as-al-ghad-party-leader-until-recently-a-public-backer-of-el-sisi-throws-his-hat-into-the-ring\/\">\r\n                            It\u2019s a two-horse race as Al Ghad Party leader, until recently a public backer of El Sisi, throws his hat into the ring.                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/01\/30\/its-a-two-horse-race-as-al-ghad-party-leader-until-recently-a-public-backer-of-el-sisi-throws-his-hat-into-the-ring\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
