CAIRO��"Egypt's prime minister says he wants to put off parliamentary elections scheduled for September until a new constitution is drafted. Essam Sharaf said the delay would allow the nation's "political landscape" time to take shape. He made the comments in an interview that was posted on Masrawy.com Sunday. Some fear a September vote would be unfairly advantageous to the Muslim Brotherhood, the country's largest political group. The Brotherhood is considered one of Egypt's best organized blocs following the fall of longtime President Hosni Mubarak in February. The next legislature will select a panel to draft a new constitution, and some fear a parliament dominated by Islamists could result in a document with an Islamist slant.
