Brotherhood opposes handover of power before June

The Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party has rejected an initiative called for by other parties and political movements for the military council to hand over power through presidential elections next January, and not in June as originally planned.

“We abide by what all political forces have already agreed upon,” said party secretary general Saad al-Katatny.

Liberal parties had called for holding the presidential elections on 25 January and immediately forming the constituent assembly to write the new constitution.
