Kamal Darwish said that he won't pursue his run as a candidate in the Egyptian Football Association's (EFA) presidency elections if Samir Zaher was allowed to re-nominate himself.

In an interview with Dream Sport TV, former Zamalek president Darwish urged the National Sports Council to interfere and implement the Supreme Court's earlier rule to suspend current EFA chief Zaher from taking part in Friday's elections.

The Court issued its ruling on Wednesday suspending Zaher from the elections after the president failed to submit his criminal record.

Darwish added that in case Zaher's suspension ruling wasn’t activated, he and several other candidates will withdraw from the contention for the EFA's presidency seat.
