Nour Party says would accept ex-finance min as interim PM
Day late and a dollar short... | Egypts Nour Party, the countrys second-biggest movement after the Muslim Brotherhood, said on Tuesday it would accept the choice of former finance minister Samir Radwan as interim prime minister.
Nour Party spokesman Nader Bakkar told Reuters the party would accept Radwan because he met the partys criteria for an interim prime minister. Political sources said on Monday that Radwan had emerged as the favourite for the post.
The military-backed transitional administration is keen to win Nours support for a new government to show it is acceptable after the army toppled the Brotherhoods Mohamed Mursi last week.
