However, explaining the rationale behind his actions, Mr. Mubarak said he was just taking his daughter through the process.
“If you see her, she’s only six years old, she doesn’t even understand what’s going on. I raised her thumb and did the thumbprinting; it was virtually me doing it,” he said, as quoted by Citinewsroom.com.
“If I had given it to her, she would not have even known what to do. She’s my princess and I came with her during the last elections. I’m just taking her through the process.”
