Omar Suleiman, former vice-president of the deposed Egyptian president and a candidate for president, has expressed his surprise and rejection of the amendments made by the Egyptian parliament on political rights law that prevents former regime officials from their political rights.

Sulaiman has affirmed they (the amendments) personally target him and not candidates for president or former officials.

Sulaiman has said in a press interview that he will resort to the law in the event the ruling military council ratified the amendments, without being presented to the Constitutional Court to resolve its constitutionality or not.
