Egypt's vice president has announced his resignation on the day of a referendum on a new constitution, state TV reported.

Mahmoud Mekki's resignation on Saturday was announced just hours before the end of voting in the second and final round of a referendum on a disputed Muslim Brotherhood-backed constitution.

Mekki, a career judge, has said he intends to quit once the charter is adopted.

The new constitution eliminates the post of vice president.

The No to Military Trials Campaign accuses Egypt's presidency of "lying" regarding the status of the military trials of civilians, in response to a statement released by Egypt's presidential assistant on foreign relations, Essam Haddad.

While Haddad's statement claims that the new constitution marks Egypt's progress towards universal Human Rights standards, including prohibiting the trying of civilians in military courts, the rights campaign condemned such a statement as completely false.

The National Dialogue Committee (NDC) has completed its final list of nominations for the Shura Council and plans to present it to President Mohamed Morsy on Friday.

Egypt's new public prosecutor, appointed by President Mohamed Morsi last month, has resigned from his post, judicial sources and the main state newspaper al-Ahram reports.

The resignation of Public Prosecutor Talaat Ibrahim Abdallah on Monday follows a furore among members of the judiciary who said Morsi's decision in November to sack the former public prosecutor and appoint Abdallah was an assault on the independence of the judiciary.

La principal coalición opositora egipcia, el Frente de Salvación Nacional, ha anunciado este miércoles que no boicoteará el referéndum sobre la nueva constitución convocado para el próximo sábado, y que pedirá a los ciudadanos que voten no. El polémico borrador -considerado como demasiado inspirado en el islamismo por las fuerzas laicas- y la rápida celebración de la consulta son dos de los elementos clave de la agravación de la crisis política en Egipto.

El presidente egipcio, Mohamed Morsi, ha anulado el decreto presidencial del 22 de noviembre por el que se blindaba tanto él como la Asamblea Constituyente ante cualquier sentencia judicial. Morsi ya había decidido modificar esta declaración constitucional que le otorgaba amplios poderes y que está en el origen del conflicto que sacude el país desde hace más de dos semanas.

La aprobación de la nueva Constitución del Egipto post-revolucionario ha sido un proceso accidentado y tortuoso. La primera Asamblea Constituyente, rechazada por los laicos por contener una aplastante mayoría islamista, fue disuelta por los tribunales en abril. Inmediatamente, el Parlamento aprobó un nuevo comité, algo más equilibrado, pero aún dominado por los islamistas. En consecuencia, el contenido de la nueva Carta Magna responde a los designios de esta corriente, y en concreto, de los Hermanos Musulmanes.

A divisive panel boycotted by liberals and Christians was set to rush out a draft new Egyptian constitution as protests mounted over the political future nearly two years after Hosni Mubarak's overthrow.

President Mohamed Morsi had just last week given the constituent assembly an additional two months until February to complete its work.

But as protests mounted over his decision to grant himself sweeping powers until the text is ratified in a referendum, the panel wrapped up its deliberations on Wednesday and readied for a vote on Thursday.
