Syrian actress Kinda Alloush
Syrian actress Kinda Alloush has said she would vote for Nasserist candidate Hamdeen Sabahy if she were Egyptian. Egypt on Wednesday and Thursday will go to polls to elect
the country's first democratically-elected president since former president Hosni Mubarak was ousted last year.
"Sabahy's programme meets my beliefs and ideology," said the star.
She wrote on her Facebook page that she doesn't agree with those who think the Egyptian revolution did not succeed, as what is happening in Egypt is "competition between the candidates and the interest of the Egyptians of different affiliations and cultural levels to discuss and compare the candidates' programmes...all of this is proof of the revolution's success," she said.
The Syrian actress insisted that she was against the idea of ??boycotting the elections, she also stresed the importance of accepting the result whatever it was to proceed with the revolution.
Kinda's opinion was supported by her friends on Facebook, Baraa el-Eram who commented: "It is enough for the revolution that it ended the sectarian tension between Muslims and Christians in Egypt, and I'm sure the security problems will be settled by time."
Kinda had a funny debate with one of her friends who said she likes Abdel Moneim Abul Fotouh more the Sabahy, Kinda replied to her saying: "What can I do? You will still remain my friend!"
Another friend said he would like to witness a similar event in Syria, telling Kinda that she may vote in elections to choose the president of free Syria in a few months.
