Egypt\'s interim president Adly Mansour announced a 50-member panel Sunday to draw up a revised constitution but without the inclusion of ousted president Mohamed Morsi\'s Muslim Brotherhood which declined to take part. A disputed constitution drafted under Morsi was approved in a December 2012 referendum without only a 33-percent turnout. Mansour\'s spokesman Ehab al-Badaoui read out the 50 names of the new panel at a press conference in Cairo. The Brotherhood has refused to take part, arguing that Egypt\'s new authorities were illegitimate since the army ousted Morsi on July 3 after a wave of popular protests. But the Islamists are represented by the Salafist party Al-Nour, which supported Morsi\'s ouster, sitting alongside Al-Azhar, the highest authority in Sunni Islam, and Christian churches. The new panel has 60 days to submit a final version of the revised constitution to the interim president, who in turn has 30 days to announce the date of a referendum. Source: AFP
