A draft of the new constitution will be ready by the end of next September, Prime Minister Hisham Kandil said on Saturday, adding that it later will be put to public referendum.

In a statement in Alexandria, Kandil called on all political currents to prepare themselves for the upcoming parliamentary elections to produce a parliament that represents popular will of the Egyptian people.

The August 24 protests which some movements and powers called for "prove undoubtedly that Egyptians have sided with democracy," Kandil stated.

"The cabinet is racing against time to implement the 100-day programme President Mohamed Mursi proposed in his electoral platform," the prime minister added.
