Posters have sprouted up around Egypt promoting President Hosni Mubarak's younger son as the country's next leader, in the most overt campaign yet for a controversial father-son succession in this key U.S. Arab ally. For the last decade, it has been believed that Gamal Mubarak is being groomed to succeed his 82-year-old father, who has ruled Egypt for nearly 30 years. But the idea of father-son succession has raised deep opposition among many Egyptians. Even some within the ruling party are thought to be unconvinced, and Gamal — a 46-year-old investment banker turned politician — has little popular base.

Son of the oligarchy, friend of the corrupt plutocrats, crown prince, friend of the poor? He can prove it once for all by running in an open free election, monitored by impartial international groups.
