Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei said he wouldn’t run for president of Egypt.
In Egypt, ElBaradei said his withdrawal as a candidate for president was to protest the continued military control of the country, according to The New York Times.
“My conscience does not permit me to run for the presidency or any other official position unless it is within a real democratic system,” he said, according to the Times.
ElBaradei won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005 for his work as head of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
