Egypt army could stay in power for years: Parliament speaker

Speaker of the dissolved Egyptian parliament Saad El-Katatny fears the ruling military council could stay in power for years, while officials say presidential runoff result may be delayed.

The remarks come after Egypt’s Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) dissolved the parliament and claimed all legislative powers.

Egypt’s main political parties including the Muslim Brotherhood and the April 6 Youth Movement protested against the decision, calling the move a constitutional coup against Egypt’s February 2011 revolution.
