Egypt is to vote on a new parliament in six months, after amendments to the constitution are approved in a referendum. This is outlined in interim leader Adly Mansour’s new decree.
The decree has allowed a four-and-a-half month period for any amendments to the former constitution, which was suspended after the overthrow of the country’s former president Mohammed Morsi, following widespread protests against his regime.
A presidential election is to be held within a week of the new legislative chamber’s first meeting covered by RT News Russia.
The text of Mansour’s decree states that a panel for the review of the new constitution must be formed within 15 days.
In the run-up to parliamentary elections, the document also gives the interim president powers to issue new laws after consulting with the new government, which is to be formed soon. MRM
