DHAKA: Egyptian army chief Abdel Fattah Sisi, who deposed elected president Mohamed Mursi in July following mass protests, said he did not rule out running for the presidency.

Asked if he was a candidate for the job, Sisi replied ‘let’s see what the days bring us’ in an interview with Kuwaiti newspaper al-Seyassah published on Thursday.

Sisi has become a popular figure among Egyptians since Mursi was deposed.
