　　In a widely expected announcement, he said on state TV he was appearing "in my military uniform for the last time".

　　Field Marshal Sisi led the overthrow(推翻) of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July after mass opposition protests.

　　Correspondents say he is likely to win the presidency, given his popularity and the lack of any serious rivals.

　　To his supporters, the 59-year-old former army chief is a saviour who can end the political turmoil dogging Egypt since 2011 when a popular uprising ended Hosni Mubarak's three decades of one-man rule.

　　But his opponents hold him responsible for what human rights groups say are widespread abuses, and fear that he wants a return to authoritarianism.

　　His announcement came hours after Egypt's interim authorities ordered the prosecution of 919 suspected Islamists and days after 528 were sentenced to death in a separate case.

　　'Difficult task'

　　In his address, Field Marshal Sisi told Egyptians he first wore his military uniform as a 15-year-old cadet and said: "I will always be proud of wearing the uniform of defending my country."

　　But he said he was answering "the demand of a wide range of Egyptians who have called on me to run for this honourable office".

　　He warned of an "extremely difficult task" ahead for Egyptians as the country faces up to its "economic, social, political and security realities", including a threat "by the terrorists".

　　But he proposed "hard work and self-denial". "If I am granted the honour of the leadership," he said, "I promise that we together, leadership and people, can achieve stability, safety and hope for Egypt".
