ElBaradei calls for Egyptians to vote 'No'

The Egyptian Constitution Party Chairman Mohamed ElBaradei called for the Egyptian people to vote "No" in the second phase of the referendum “for the sake of Islamic law”. In a televised speech ElBaradei said: "We want Sharia law to rule and therefore we will vote No." He claimed that: "the Constitution is a distorted entity and the ballot is defective because it is tainted by fraud.” Stressing his optimism with the first phase results, ElBaradei called for a return to the constitution of 1971 and the formation of a technocratic government.  He concluded "the ambiguous relationship between Al-Azhar and the judiciary stated in the constitution will get us in to lots of trouble."
