Sisi, who was also defence minister, faces ** serious competition in the election -- likely before June -- and is expected to win comfortably, riding on a wave of popularity for his law and order message. But the Muslim Brotherhood movement of president Mohamed Morsi, whom Sisi toppled in July, warned there could be ** stability in Egypt under the "shadow" of his leadership. The Brotherhood and its allies have kept up their protests against the overthrow of Egypt's only freely elected president against a backdrop of mounting violence by militant groups that has killed scores of police and troops.
