CAIRO [MENL] -- Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was expected to relay power to his son within a year.

Egyptian opposition sources said Mubarak, 78, has been spending less time in his presidential duties amid declining health. The sources said Mubarak's son, Gamal, was managing most of Egypt's domestic activities as well as learning to handle security and diplomatic issues.

"The matter [the rule of the elder Mubarak] will not go on for more than a year," Muslim Brotherhood deputy secretary-general Mohammed Habib said. "Perhaps less than a year."

Habib said he expected the elder Mubarak to increase restrictions on democracy, free speech as well as arrest up to thousands of Islamic and other opponents of the regime. He said this would enable Gamal, 46, to become the new ruler of Egypt.
