Social Democratic lawyer likely to become Egypt interim PM

PanARMENIAN.Net - Social Democratic lawyer Ziaad Bahaa el-Din is likely to be appointed interim prime minister of Egypt under a deal emerging among the country's new political forces, a presidential spokesman said on Sunday, July 7, according to Reuters.

He also said liberal politician Mohamed ElBaradei, whose initial nomination for the post angered a key Islamist party, would probably be appointed interim deputy president instead.

Bahaa el-Din, an Oxford-educated commercial lawyer, was head of Egypt's investment authority in the late years of ex-President Hosni Mubarak's rule, during a period of economic liberalization, but resigned before the former autocrat was toppled.
