ElBaradei, FJP agree on guidelines for choosing constituent assembly
CAIRO: Presidential hopeful Mohamed ElBaradei and the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) agreed Sunday on guidelines for the formation of a representative constituent assembly that will draft Egypt’s new constitution following pending general elections.
ElBaradei, the first presidential candidate to visit FJP's headquarters to formally congratulate its leaders on their newly-established party, agreed with the FJP’s general secretary, Saad El-Katatny, and deputy head, Essam El-Erian, that the assembly should include members from outside the elected parliament.
