	Gamal Mubarak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gamal Mubarak (Arabic: جمال مبارك), or Gamal-u-dinn Muhammad Hosni Said Mubarak (Arabic: جمال الدين محمد حسنى سيد مبارك born 1963), is the younger of the two sons of current Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Mrs.
		Latest this was made clear in early 2006, where Gamal Mubarak declared repeatedly that he has no aspiration to succeed his father, but will maintain his position in the NDP as deputy secretary general, a post he holds in addition to heading the party's policies committee, probably the most important organ within the NDP [3].
		The view is that Gamal Mubarak would be one of the candidates in a coming presidential elections and would enjoy full backing from the ruling party and the government-controlled media.

	As Mubarak era enters twilight, spotlight falls on son - Boston.com
		Many believe that Gamal Mubarak, a leading light in the ruling party, is in line for the job, despite his assertions that he does not want the post his father has held since 1981.
		Mubarak has always rejected the idea that he would bequeath power to Gamal, saying Egypt is no Syria, where Bashar al-Assad became president after his father's death in 2000.
		Gamal's influence in the NDP is unmatched, said Hala Mustafa, a dissenting member of the party's policy-making body, which is headed by the president's son.

	washingtonpost.com: Egyptians Begin Asking: After Mubarak, What?
		As head of the party's Policies Secretariat, Gamal Mubarak recently helped push through a platform of changes that included easing restrictions on political parties and labor unions, granting new rights to women and scrapping many of the martial law decrees that the government has used to imprison thousands of opponents over the years.
		Gamal Mubarak -- called Jimmy by his friends -- is a former investment banker known more for his sleekly tailored suits and love of sports cars than for his political views.
		Hosni Mubarak was head of the air force before Sadat named him vice president, and the armed services, propped up by $1.3 billion annually in U.S. military aid, remain the country's dominant institution.

	Cairo Communiqué
		Gamal began to appear regularly on television and among government ministers at major events of state, and the state media started lavishing praise on him as the voice of Egyptian youth and the hope of the future.
		Mubarak’s rare cabinet reshuffles have failed to invigorate popular faith in government, and his decision in 1999 to move Atef Obeid from the position of minister of public enterprises to that of prime minister met with particular disappointment around the country.
		Gamal is known to the U.S. as well as the British leadership, and that’s an important assurance of continuity Mubarak would want to convey to his Western allies.

		Gamal further polished his image as a modern manager, worlds apart from the NPD's old guard, with the president's son repeating once more his opposition to the inheritance of power, while many still believe that he is being groomed as Hosni's successor.
		Yet Hosni Mubarak was otherwise noticeably absent from the convention, leaving the limelight to his younger son.
		A number of ambassadors to Egypt were invited to a meeting with Gamal on the sidelines of the convention, where the diplomats said he proved himself to be knowledgeable about specific dossiers and at ease with the group.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > World -- President's son gains new prominence as Egypt's elections near
		Mubarak's six-year reform program – drawn up by Gamal Mubarak and his clique – promises to hand over some presidential power to the parliament and the Cabinet and to lift emergency laws in place since 1981.
		Gamal Mubarak's rise began in September 2000, when he and his circle succeeded in changing the internal constitution of byrules of the ruling party to form the Policies Secretariat, a committee to develop new policies.
		Gamal's circle is looking beyond the presidential vote, hoping parliament elections next month will increase their presence in the legislature, where the NDP holds 388 of 454 seats.

		In his speech, Gamal Mubarak also outlined his party's programme and warned that the upcoming legislative elections would be a key test.
		Gamal Mubarak added that despite the many "problems and challenges" ahead, "we approach (the elections) with confidence in our vision," saying "we will enter the election with an ambitious party programme".
		President Mubarak is to give an address on Friday in which he is expected "to underline that the next phase will draw on the resources and talents of a younger generation", Al-Ahram Weekly said.

	Baheyya: Egypt Analysis and Whimsy بهيّة: First Principles
		Gamal Mubarak’s smashing little lecture before the American Chamber of Commerce at the posh Four Seasons Hotel was peppered with very correct catchwords and phrases: “International best practice,” “efficiency,” “transparency,” “accountability”, “Egypt’s political future should be one of greater political competition,” etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
		Gamal evinces an astonishingly blithe attitude to the fundamental politico-economic concerns of Egyptians at this moment, opting instead to outline what he called his party’s “big picture of change.” But anyone with half a brain knows that the big picture is not what the NDP thinks.
		Gamal bey gets to be ferried about town delivering lectures and speeches about his “visions” and “big picture of change.” He likes to hold forth at the most swanky, decidedly non-public fora of super-luxury hotels, American universities, American business conclaves, and assorted other venues inhospitable to the vast majority of Egypt’s people.

		Gamal Mubarak, in an interview with the Lebanese LBC TV channel, said that Egypt was facing several challenges under the comprehensive reform process and in light of the climate of freedom now prevailing in the country.
		Gamal Mubarak noted, however, that a turning point in Egypt's history was represented in amending Article 76 of the Egyptian Constitution, which allowed multi-candidate presidential elections.
		Gamal Mubarak noted that the region was rife with many problems that needed to be settled.

	NBC: Egypt setting stage for succession - World News - MSNBC.com
		Gamal Mubarak, 41, began his career as an investment banker before entering politics at the urging of his father.
		But critics say that while Gamal Mubarak champions economic reform, he is less interested in the kind of serious political reform that would weaken the supremacy of the ruling National Democratic Party and challenge his father's monopoly on the presidency.
		Gamal Mubarak has begun a dialogue on reform, and supported political and social reform within limits, but just how far he is willing to go in responding to the startlingly frank demands of the Egyptian people is an open question.

	Amid Bombs, Mubarak Plans Ahead - Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
		Mubarak, after amending the Constitution to permit direct and pluralistic elections for the presidency, has yet to announce whether he will seek a fifth term in office.
		And although Mubarak repeated several times in recent months that he does not need an election program, he might be inclined to address the heated domestic debates on Egypt's future by publicizing a reform plan for his coming years in office, promising substantial economic and political improvements.
		Gamal's succession would lead to a deeper legitimacy deficit than if Mubarak were to remain in office; in such a situation, the potential for popular unrest should not be underestimated.

	Politics of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In late-February 2005, Mubarak announced in a surprise television broadcast that he had ordered the reform of the country's presidential election law, paving the way for multi-candidate polls in the upcoming presidential election.
		As of 2005, President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak has been the President of the Republic since 14 October 1981 and is currently serving his fifth term.
		The Muslim Brotherhood currently constitutes Mubarak's most significant political opposition; Mubarak tolerated limited political activity by the Brotherhood for his first two terms, but has moved more aggressively in the past six years to block its influence (arguably leading to its recent rise in public support).

		And it was Gamal Mubarak's rise in the ranks of the NDP over the past three years that certainly pushed the once-whispered question of succession into the public debate.
		The younger Mubarak joined the party in the wake of its poor performance in the 2000 parliamentary elections, becoming a member of an ad hoc committee entrusted with reforming the party.
		When President Mubarak was re-elected to a fourth term in 1999, he won by 94 per cent of the vote.

		With Gamal often giving interviews, touring the country and featured on the front-page of government dailies, some have begun to believe he is being groomed to succeed his father as leader of this nation of 65 million people, the Arab world's most populous.
		In February, Gamal Mubarak was appointed by his father to the 25-man general secretariat of the NDP after serving on the party's economic committee for several years.
		Gamal, if he were to succeed his father, would be the first Egyptian president with no military background.

		The outcome of the conference reflected Mubarak's rejection of U.S. pressure to democratize, which he has described as interference in internal affairs and damaging to efforts to fight Muslim militants, a policy he says he shares with the Bush administration.
		The question of Gamal Mubarak's future role, which took on new urgency during a year in which his father underwent back surgery in Germany and appeared infrequently in public, remains unanswered.

	Gamal Mubarak, President of Egypt? - Middle East Quarterly - Spring 2001
		Despite Mubarak's refusal to appoint a vice president, it was only after nearly fourteen years that the succession issue broke through the polite silence surrounding it and came to the forefront of the Egyptian agenda.
		Gamal also fills certain official roles: he serves as the spokesman for the U.S.-Egyptian business advisory body, and more importantly, he is an elected member of the general secretariat of the National Democratic Party (NDP), his father's own ruling party.
		Gamal's published opinions are not limited to the economic sphere, for he is quite ready to go on record about major foreign-policy issues, such as Egypt's relations with Israel and Iraq.

		Since he assumed power in 1981, Mubarak had made annual trips to Washington in the spring for talks with government and congressional leaders, but he has not done so for the past two years.
		Gamal Mubarak's last visit to the White House was shortly before the United States launched its 2003 war on Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein.

	The Hindu : Who after Mubarak?
		Hosni Mubarak's son, Gamal, may as yet lack the necessary support in either the army, or among officials of the governing party.
		GAMAL MUBARAK, dressed in an open-collared white shirt, fl pants and loafers, had been onstage at the American University in Cairo talking about political and economic reform for roughly two hours before one student finally asked the question on everyone's mind.
		Oddly, analysts and opposition figures say the one way that Gamal Mubarak might easily become President is the one route that his father and the party have ruled out — amending the 1971 Constitution to allow for direct presidential elections.

	Baheyya: Egypt Analysis and Whimsy بهيّة
		Hosni Mubarak and his handlers kindly helped out in this project of presidential diminishment, with their remarkable mixture of incompetence, persistent miscalculation, and extraordinary indifference to the suffering of ordinary citizens.
		For instance, instead of resuscitating respect in the presidency and its current occupant, the 2005 presidential elections manoeuvre was swiftly exposed for the cynical sham that it was.
		Given how brutally and swiftly Mubarak’s regime has repressed members of nearly every opposition sector, during electoral and non-electoral junctures, it is not difficult to imagine the magnitude of the threat posed by a coordinated opposition effort.

		GAMAL Mubarak, Secretary-General of the Policies Committee of Egypt's ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) has delivered a meaningful speech at the second general assembly meeting of the party.
		In answering these questions we realise and understand the sensitivity of Hosni Mubarak as a father who wants to avoid talk that he is planning to bequeath his position to his son Gamal.
		As a capable individual Gamal Mubarak shouldn't be bothered about such meaningless talk which is an obstacle in the path of Egypt's progress.

He then proceeded to outline the reform efforts being undertaken to meet the changing requirements of society.
		Mubarak then proceeded to answer questions from the audience on the health of political competition, transparency in the electoral process, voter registration, education reform and Egypt-US relations.

		Gamal Mubarak has said the party will soon consider measures to reduce the emergency powers of the government under the emergency law, to abolish imprisonment with hard labor, and to create new councils for human rights.
		If Husni Mubarak decides to run again, or more accurately to be selected since he runs unopposed in a plebiscite, the key question is whether he will designate a vice president and who will be anointed for that position.
		It is not surprising that Gamal Mubarak may be seeking to garner American support and legitimacy by his frequent visits to the U.S. and by presenting himself both in private meetings and in public as a reliable American friend and an element of both reform and stability.

	The Grooming of Gamal Husni Mubarak
		The appointment of Gamal Mubarak, a former executive at Bank of America in Cairo and London, to the senior position in the NDP has been seen as a significant step toward elevating the younger Mubarak to the pinnacle of the political pyramid.
		Little information is available on Gamal Mubarak's wealth but he is known to have established a private investment company with a capital of $100 million.(19) An example of influence peddling was provided in the recent issue of Rose El-Youssef involving the sale of B.M.W in Egypt.
		The buyers of the company were Qatari individuals (with 80 percent interest), a German company (with 15 percent), and Gamal Mubarak (with the remaining 5 percent), who has also assumed the role of chief executive of the new company, renamed as "Bavari Egypt."(20) The intervention of the minister in a commercial transaction speaks for itself.
