“Salafi figures are trying to attract the Saudi and other Persian Gulf littoral states’ financial resources to win the largest possible number of parliamentary seats after the collapse of former President Mohammad Mursi,” an informed source close to the Saudi monarchy who called for anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue told FNA on Sunday.
The Salafi groups are also attempting to make the government hold the parliamentary elections sooner than the declared date to seize more seats in the assembly to be able to form the next government, the source added.
