CAIRO (Reuters) - The Muslim Brotherhood, blocked from fielding its own candidate in Egypt's first presidential elections, is keeping a low profile until November parliamentary polls to avoid conflict with the authorities, observers say.
The moderate Islamist group, prevented from participating in the September 7 presidential election by tough terms on who can stand, says its priority is the legislative elections. Its members, elected as independents, already hold more seats than any other opposition group in parliament.
Moderate?
