Gamal Mubarak to get married on April 28

CAIRO: Gamal Mubarak, the politician son of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, will marry on April 28 and the wedding party will take place on May 4, the independent newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm reported on Monday. His fiancee is Khadiga Mahmoud El-Gammal, the daughter of a wealthy building contractor, and they have been engaged since early 2006. Gamal Mubarak, 43, is almost 20 years older than Khadiga, who was born in 1982. The Egyptian opposition and political analysts say many signs indicate that the Mubarak family and the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) intend that Gamal Mubarak should replace his father as president. The Mubaraks deny he has any presidential ambitions. Officials at Gamal Mubarak s office said they would not comment on his marriage plans. The newspaper said the formal ceremony would take place in Cairo before the party in the Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh on May 4, timed to coincide with Hosni Mubarak s 79th birthday.
