Mubarak announces a reform of the presidential election law in late February 2005, paving the way for multi-candidate polls for the first time since the 1952 movement.

However, the new law places restrictions on the candidates, and leads to Mubarak's easy re-election victory.

Voter turnout is less than twenty-five percent.

Election observers also allege government interference in the election process.

After the election, Mubarak imprisons Ayman Nour, the runner-up.
