Major General Mohsen Al-Fangari, member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, ‎says those who staged the 25 January Revolution are capable of outnumbering the Muslim ‎Brotherhood in this year's upcoming parliamentary elections. ‎
    
‎“Why do you assume that the Muslim Brotherhood will win the elections? The revolution ‎youth can gather millions of citizens to back them up, as they did in the uprising,” Al-Fangari said ‎during a meeting with representatives of youth movements in Alexandria. ‎

‎Al-Fangari is possibly the most well known face among the military council, next only to the head of that council, Defense Minister Tantawi, for it was he who stood before the TV cameras to announce the armed forces Commumnique number 1, and many others after that. He won wide admiration and respect when he gave a military salute to the martyrs of the revolution.

In his talk with the youth, Fangari also affirmed that deposed president Hosni Mubarak will be prosecuted, though a trial date has yet to be determined, which led several activists to voice ‎dissatisfaction during the meeting. 

Mubarak and his family, are all accused — among other charges — of misusing their ‎political ‎power to accumulate illegal profits and assets, and are currently under house arrest in ‎Sharm ‎El-Sheikh pending an investigation.‎
