Mubarak to step down at the next election!

President Hosni Mubarak will say in a speech that he will step down at the next election but would stay in office until then, Al Arabiya TV said on Tuesday.


The network, which did not name its source, said the president would make those comments in a speech later on Tuesday.

The next presidential election is scheduled for September.

Until now, officials had indicated Mubarak, 82, would likely run for a sixth six-year term of office.
