Prime Minister Essam Sharaf has chosen two deputies, Ali al-Selmy for political development and democratic affairs and Hazem al-Beblawy for economic affairs, said cabinet spokesperson Mohamed Hegazy on Saturday.
Hegazy said the choices represent a need to focus on the national economy on one hand and establish a sound democratic system on the other.
Sharaf's choices are not based on political affiliation, but on candidates' ability to work together and achieve the revolution’s objectives, said Hegazy.
Selmy would be responsible for forming of a group of ministers to achieve social demands related to prices, low-income families and subsidies, a cabinet source told Al-Masry Al-Youm, adding that he will hold the office of investment minister as well as that of public enterprise minister.
