Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak ordered the constitution changed to allow multi-candidate presidential elections in September, making a surprise reversal Saturday that could pit him against a challenger for the first time since taking power in 1981.

The announcement followed increasing opposition calls within Egypt for political reform and historic Iraqi and Palestinian elections that brought a taste of democracy to a region.
