Parliament speaker Mohamed Saad al-Katatni announced on Tuesday evening the elected members of the constituent assembly that will draft Egypt’s new constitution.
In a bilateral session on Tuesday, parliamentary chambers elected members of the assembly, as some members of parliament refrained from voting, accusing the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) and the Salafi Nour Party of attempting to dominate the assembly.
The number of parliamentarians who voted was 575 out of 678, while seventeen votes were dismissed for being void.
