| 2011-06-23 |
| CAIRO - EgyptÂ’s army rulers rejected the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Yehia el-Gamal, who had cited health problems, the government said on Wednesday. Gamal was appointed in February shortly after a popular uprising ousted President Hosni Mubarak, who was replaced by a military council until elections can be held. A law professor, Gamal was a leader of an opposition coalition called the National Association for Change, founded by Egyptian activist and presidential candidate Mohamed ElBaradei. The prime ministerÂ’s media adviser Ahmed el-Seman told reporters that the military council had rejected GamalÂ’s resignation. He gave no explanation for the decision. |
