The Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party has warned the military council of remaining in power until a new constitution is approved.
In a press statement on Tuesday, the party said the council had claimed that the new constitution would be written after it handed over power to a civilian authority, but then said it would stay in power until the constitution is completed, which gives the council a say in the political process.
The statement called on the council to remain an “administrator” of the country’s affairs and stay away from politics so as not to adversely affect the military establishment.
In related news, young members of the party called on their president, Mohamed Morsy, to withdraw his signature of approval from the military council’s statement issued after the latter’s meeting with various political forces. Thirteen parties have signed the statement so far.
They considered the signature a circumvention of the revolution’s demands.
They also demanded that another president be elected for the party.
Morsy is expected to meet with those members shortly.
