Ahmed Saadeddin resigns as parliament’s secretary-general: Secretary-General of the House of Representatives Ahmed Saadeddin yesterday resigned from his post citing “very private reasons” in a statement, Ahram Online reports. He said in his statement he intends to return to his former role as a judge with the Council of State (Maglis El Dawla), having served as parliament’s secretary-general for four years. However, well-connected House Rep. Mostafa Bakry said in a tweet that Saadeddin is heading to the UAE, where he will be “on loan” to the Emirati parliament. Saadeddin’s resignation comes one month before the House reconvenes for its last legislative session before parliamentary elections are held at the end of 2020.
