It is now obvious that the decision of the Muslim Brotherhood to contest the presidential election was not made according to an understanding with the military junta. It is, rather, a result of the increasing differences between the two. Accordingly, it seems that the final decision of General Omar Suleiman who announced his candidacy a few days after the entry of Shater, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, to run for presidency (before their exclusion by a decision from the Committee on the presidential election on Saturday, April 14, 2012), and the insistence of the Brotherhood to proceed by supporting its reserve candidate, Dr. Mohamed Morsi, confirms that the two parties are further falling apart. The Brotherhood decided to present its presidential candidate for the position whose occupant is supposed to be, as wishes the Supreme Council, close to the latter, so that it can retain its grip on power after the transition.
