CAIRO: The 6 of April youth movement announced a new parliamentary election campaign titled the “White Circle, Black Circle” that aims to expose the past regime's affiliate candidates across Egypt. Ahmed Maher, the general coordinator of the movement, said that the campaign will be at every constituency educating people about each candidate's background and past affiliations to “cut the road in front of the deposed National Democratic Party's members to come back to the political scene.” Maher added that the youth movement will “not be supporting a candidate or a party in particular and will leave people to make their choice freely.” The movement that started in Mahala, in the Nile Delta region in 2008, has been one of the most renowned youth groups in the country and was a force behind the January 25 revolution that toppled ousted president Hosni Mubarak. The campaign will be divided into two parts, the white circle and the black one. The first will put general principles that each candidate should have such as a “clean past,” to have a reform program and vision and to not at any point have belonged to the NDP or defended the past regime's actions. The Black Circle will name names in each constituency of those candidates who were affiliated with Mubarak's party and running in the upcoming elections as independents. BM
