Tagammu rejects party member’s post in interim govt

Tagammu Party member Gouda Abdel Khaleq has accepted a ministerial position in the current government without discussing his appointment with the Tagammu Party, a spokesperson for the party has said. Abdel Khaleq's decision is therefore personal and does not represent the party, according to the party spokesperson.

The spokesperson announced in a statement that the party opposes the formation, program and obligations of the government that Abdel Khaleq has joined. According to the statement, the party will take the appropriate procedures toward its members in such cases.

Tagammu Party President Refaat al-Saeed told Al-Masry Al-Youm that his party rejects the current caretaker government, its priorities, its mode of work and the regime which brought it to power. For party members to join the government is therefore out of the question, he said.

Abdel Khaleq did not discuss the matter with the party and made his decision without informing them, al-Saeed added.
