WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama urged Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi to protect democratic principles in Egypt and work to build political consensus as he prepares for parliamentary elections.

Obama and Morsi spoke by telephone on Tuesday, a White House statement said.

Liberal and leftist parties in Egypt have vowed to boycott the parliamentary elections to protest against a law they say favors Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood.

This has raised the prospect of an election fought mostly between the Muslim Brotherhood and more hardline Islamist groups. The elections are planned in four stages between late April and June.
