(VOVworld)- The Egyptian Constitutional Committee on Monday said constitutional revisions have been officially approved by a majority of votes. Spokesperson for the constitution panel Mohamed Salmawi said the constitutional revisions will now be submitted to Egypt’s interim President Adli Mansour, who has the right to veto or approve this daft. If he approves, a referendum will be held by the end of December. This event marks a decisive step in the political process in Egypt, which has been deep in a political-social crisis since the Egyptian military suspended the constitution and ousted President Mohamed Morsi on July 3.
