The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has nominated its deputy chairman, Khairat al-Shatir, as its candidate for the presidential elections in May.
The choice of Mr Shatir, the group's financier, reverses a pledge made earlier by the group's leaders not to contest the election.
Only a few days had remained before the close of nominations.
Correspondents say the Brotherhood has shown major divisions and its ties with the ruling council have worsened.
