Baku, September 7 (AZERTAC). A leading opposition figure in Egypt has called for a boycott of November`s parliamentary election, saying it is certain to be rigged by the government.

Mohammed ElBaradei said participating would go against "the national will" to transform Egypt into a democracy.

The ex-head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said the "next year and months will be critical and will witness change in the rule of Egypt".

Mr ElBaradei has not yet said whether he will run for president in 2011.

Speculation over who will succeed Hosni Mubarak - Egypt`s president of nearly 30 years - has gained pace since he had surgery earlier this year.

The 82-year-old has himself not said if he will seek re-election, but many Egyptians believe he will try to install his son, Gamal, in the role if he does not.
