Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi has signed into law a new Islamist-drafted constitution after it was approved by 63.8 percent of voters in a referendum.

Egypt's state television reports that the country's central bank governor Farouk El-Okadah has resigned, with his deputy Hisham Ramez the most likely candidate to take his place.
Both the former governor and his deputy helped steer the central bank during last year's uprising that ousted former President Hosni Mubarak and worked to keep the Egyptian currency relatively stable despite the political turmoil.
Polling stations have opened in Egypt in the second and final round of a referendum on a new constitution. It was drafted by an assembly which the opposition says is polarising the nation.
After a first round vote last week which unofficial results showed as 57 per cent approval of the constitution, polls opened again at 8am local time (6am GMT).
Polls are scheduled to close at 7pm (5pm GMT) but could be kept open longer as they were last week.
The opposition said voting in the first round was littered with abuses. Officials overseeing the poll have said there was no major irregularities.
