Several key figures submitted their resignations on Friday from Egypt’s ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) before and after President Hosni Mubarak stepped down and handed power to the military.
The list includes the recently appointed general secretary of the NDP Hossam Badrawi.
Abdel Monim Saeed, chairman of the state-run daily Al-Ahram and member of the Policies Secretariat.
The Head of the Lawyers’ Syndicate, Hamdy Khalifa, also resigned.
Media reports also suggest that all members of the recently appointed NDP’s political bureau are to submit their resignations within few hours.
