Okay I read further...

"Omar al-Hassi, a political science professor from the country's second-largest city of Benghazi, ran against Matiq. He is backed by the hard-line Islamist bloc in parliament."

So then it's al-Hassi who is backed by the Islamist bloc? I believe that's how the above comment reads.

This would be good news then.

Nope. The way Matiq got in was with the MB’s help too.
