CAIRO, Nov 30 (Reuters) – Egypt’s Islamist-led constituent
assembly finalised a new constitution on Friday and will send it
to the president for him to ratify and put to a popular
referendum.
“We have finished working on Egypt’s constitution. We will
call the president today (Friday) at a reasonable hour to inform
him that the assembly has finished its task and the project of
the constitution is completed,” said Hossam el-Gheriyani, head
of the assembly in a live broadcast of the session which lasted
about 19 hours.
He added that the next step would be preparing for the
referendum which the president will call for.
