Nasser's reform of Egypt's existing political system…
October 1968 CE
This initial phase of his plan is completed during October 1968, with the election of the reorganized Supreme Executive Committee (SEC) of the ASU.
Only eight people receive the required majority of votes, and the election of the remaining two members is postponed.
The SEC organizes itself into five permanent committees: political affairs, chaired by Anwar as Sadat; administration, chaired by Ali Sabri; internal affairs, chaired by Abdul Muhsin Abu an Nur; economic
development, chaired by Muhammad Labib Shuqayr; and culture and information, chaired by Diya Muhammad Daud.
Nasser heads the SEC, and its three remaining members are Husayn ash Shafii, General Muhammad Fawzi, and Kamal Ramzi Stinu.
