Egypt\'s newly-appointed presidential media adviser denied late Saturday evening the appointment of opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei as the country\'s interim prime minister, state-run news agency MENA reported. \"Until now, President Adli Mansour has not officially assigned ElBardei or anyone else to form the new government,\" said Ahmed al- Mislimani, who has just been appointed as presidential media adviser. Al-Mislimani added that the discussions are still going on about the nomination for interim prime minister, noting the transitional government has to be \"a crisis-managment government\" at the current critical stage. He said there had not been a specific date for announcing the government formation and its leader, denying \"the media leaks\" about ElBaradei\'s appointment.
