Anti-government protesters, demanding the resignation of the authoritarian president, have swept Egypt for the past fortnight. The unrest, seen by analysts as a major threat to repressive governments in the region, has claimed the lives of at least 300 people and injured several thousand.
"I think President Mubarak should stay until his term expires," Moussa, who is also a former Egyptian diplomat, said in a televised interview with the local MENA news agency. He said an increasing number of people supported the idea.
Tens of thousands of protesters gathered on Cairo's Tahrir Square on Tuesday for the third week of protests, despite a government pledge to raise budget sector wages and pensions by 15% from April.
