Among those requirements were postponing parliamentary elections, reopening election law to discussion, and a cabinet change.        Reform and Development Party Chairman Anwar al-Sadat said a reconciliation would be possible if those requirements would be met.   On Kerry\'s visit, Sadat said the US was concerned on Egypt at political and economic level and that led US to play a mediating role between the government and the opposition\".   Wafd Party Secretary General Husam al-Havli said Kerry stood on an equal distance with the parties and called on dialogue.   Bassam Al-Zarqa, one of the leaders of Nour Party said the visit could be considered normal, but Kerry\'s presenting opinions at the talks would be considered as intervention to domestic affairs.    Zarqa said Egypt was a respectable state that would not let any interfering in the Egyptian political scene.    The ruling Muslim Brotherhood kept silent regarding Kerry\'s visit.
