Free Egyptians Party (FEP) Chairman Essam Khalil decided yesterday to withdraw confidence from the party’s Secretary General Nasr Al Qaffas, Al Shorouk reports. The move came after Al Qaffas made unsanctioned statements on the party’s behalf, Khalil explained. Naguib Sawiris, who founded the party, was also dismissed from it earlier this year after “giving off the impression he speaks for the party,” among other things. Khalil said elections for a new secretary general would be held soon.
