The constitutional amendments submitted to referendum Saturday, March 19 in Egypt have been approved by 77% of voters, according to the electoral commission, with a participation rate of 41%. The victory of "yes" opens the way for parliamentary elections that could take place as early as September. Constitutional reform is a prerequisite for the holding of parliamentary and presidential elections expected to allow the establishment of an elected civilian government in Egypt.
The Muslim Brotherhood and the heirs of the PND (National Democratic Party) party of former President Hosni Mubarak had called to vote "yes". The reformers, including a presidential candidate as Mohamed ElBaradei, former Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, had asked to vote "no", claiming that the Constitution be rewritten.
