Ayman Nour
In 2004, Eissa was offered two jobs. The first was as editor-in-chief of the El-Ghad Party's newspaper. Ayman Nour, the party's leader at that time, wanted to hire Eissa because his popularity would build a larger base for the party. At the same time, he was approached by Essam Fahmi about restarting "Al-Dustour". Although Eissa chose to work with the El-Ghad Party, the move was blocked when the security services made Mostafa Moussa fire Eissa during 2005 while Ayman Nour was in prison. Eissa fell back on his second choice and became editor in chief at "Al-Dustour". In 2005, he took over Fahmi's other newspaper, "Sawt Al-Umma", and made regular appearances on the TV show "Min Awul Sadr".
