Egypt's Opposition Nominates New Prime Minister
(Wall Street Journal) Charles Levinson - Leaders of Egypt's Salafist Nour Party and secular party leaders agreed on Ziad Bahaa-Eldin, a London-trained economist, as a candidate for prime minister, officials from Bahaa-Eldin's Social Democratic Party said. Mohamed ElBaradei will be nominated for a vice-president post. On Saturday, Egypt's state news agency reported that ElBaradei would be prime minister, a decision that was canceled at the last minute after the Nour Party raised objections. With the Muslim Brotherhood continuing to agitate for the reinstatement of Morsi, the support of the Islamist Nour Party is important for the opposition.
