Prime Minister Kamal al-Ganzouri’s Cabinet on Monday submitted its resignation to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, head of the ruling military council.
During a meeting with Ganzouri and President-elect Mohamed Morsy, Tantawi called on the Cabinet to continue its work until the new president is sworn in, which is set to take place by the end of the month.
The Presidential Elections Commission on Sunday announced that Morsy, the Muslim Brotherhood’s presidential candidate, had won the runoff election against former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq.
Morsy won 51.7 percent of the vote.
