A spokesman of Egypt's Salafist Al- Nour Party said on Wednesday night that his party has taken part in the draft of the transition roadmap, State-run Ahram online reported.

Al-Nour Party's spokesman Nader Bakkar said on his official Twitter account that his party has taken part in setting the roadmap, which effectively ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday night.

Al-Nour Party, a former ally of Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood, has kept its distance from them in recent months. In response to Bakkar's comments, Islam Abdel-Fattah, a leading member of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), called the Salafist party "traitors," according to Ahram online.
