Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi is currently considering a cabinet reshuffle after the country's new constitution came into force, while the opposition calls on people to protest against Morsi's leadership.

Morsi said that he is currently discussing a cabinet reshuffle with Prime Minister Hesham Qandil on Wednesday, one day after the country's newly-written draft constitution was approved in a referendum.

He praised the government of Qandil that assumed office in early August, stressing "it has been working under very critical conditions."

Egypt still faces scuffles over power recently, among others.

Communications and Information Technology Minister Hany Mahmoud recently has announced his resignation, saying he could not cope with "government culture" after 30 years of working for international communication companies.

Qandil accepted the departure of Mahmoud, whom he appointed in August, and praised Mahmoud for understanding, Egypt official news agency MENA reported Wednesday. Mahmoud will remain in office until a new minister is appointed.

Egypt's Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) urged Wednesday Prosecutor General Talaat Abdullah to step down and re-assume his previous post as a judge, after a meeting to defuse the current crisis in Egypt over the post of the prosecutor general.

Last month, Morsi issued a controversial presidential declaration that includes appointing Abdullah as a new prosecutor general.

The move sparked anger among the Egyptian prosecutors and judges, who staged a sit-in outside Abdullah's office, describing Morsi's move as an attack against the independence of the judicial authority.

Abdullah tendered his resignation on December 17 to the SJC, before retracting the offer last Thursday.

In another development, Morsi signed a decree to enforce the new constitution on Tuesday, almost immediately after it was approved by a referendum.

Egyptian Supreme Elections Commission announced Tuesday evening that the newly-drafted constitution was approved by 63.8 percent of voters in the referendum, which 17 million out of nearly 52 million eligible voters in the country took part in.

Most liberals and leftists deemed that the draft constitution, written by the Islamist-dominated assembly, does not represent all Egyptians, especially after major representatives of the civil camp withdrew from the assembly due to unbridgeable division with the Islamic side on some of the articles.

Morsi said the constitution ensures citizens' rights and freedom, and supports national unity which is the "backbone" of the state.

The Egyptian president added that due to the approval of the constitution, "We concluded a transitional period that lasted for nearly two years," adding that the coming days will witness the launching of new projects to boost the country's economy.

Meanwhile, he renewed invitation to the opposition to participate in the ongoing national dialogue, noting that his administration will respect the law and the constitution.

Egypt's main opposition bloc, the National Salvation Front, on Wednesday called on people to take to streets on January 25, 2013 and protest against Morsi's leadership.

The organization said that it would continue its peaceful struggle against a constitution lacking national consensus, calling on all Egyptians to mark the second anniversary of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's downfall with nationwide protests.
