army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has told officials he will run for president if the people request it, and the military supports the bid. It is the clearest signal he has given of his interest in taking over the country's leadership.
General Sisi was the main force behind the ousting of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. And he is seen as the man pulling the strings behind the current military-backed
interim government. Analysts say his popular support all but assures him a mandate from the people. His latest
comments come just days before a referendum on a new constitution.
The vote is the first in a series of polls that the government says will restore elected rulership in the country.
