Egypt election plan rejected by Morsi supporters
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood has rejected a compromise deal from the interim leadership that sets a fast track for amending the Islamist-drafted constitution and holding new parliamentary and presidential elections by early next year.
The quick issuing of the transition plan showed how Egypt’s new leadership is shrugging off Islamists’ vows to reverse the military’s overthrow of president Mohammed Morsi and wants to quickly entrench a post-Morsi political system.
