Egyptian opposition politician Ahmed al-Tantawi announced on Friday he was abandoning his bid for the presidency after weeks of alleging harassment and arrests by the authorities.Despite mobilising relatively wide support since announcing his intention to run against incumbent President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Tantawi was able to collect only 14,000 of the 25,000 endorsements needed to register his candidacy, his campaign coordinator said.Each candidate must submit the endorsements of either 20 lawmakers or 25,000 citizens by October 15 in order to be eligible.
