He is the only candidate running in the presidential elections against President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi who is vying for a second term in office. Awady has demanded that Moussa be excluded from the presidential race because he is not qualified. Moussa previously launched a campaign to support Sisi in the presidential elections scheduled for March. Moussa stressed that his support for Sisi does not contradict his candidacy in the presidential election. Except for Moussa, every candidate in the elections has either withdrawn from the race or been forcibly pushed out by authorities.
