The National Association for Change (NAC) reform movement announced the appointment of prominent activist Ahmed Bahaaeddin Shaaban as its general coordinator in a press statement, Tuesday.

Shaaban is one of the founders of the protest movement Kefaya (Enough) and is currently secretary-general of the Egyptian Socialist Party.

The group confirmed in their statement that Shaaban's appointment was agreed by unanimous vote. He replaces Constituent Assembly member and well known activist Abdel-Gelil Mostafa, who previously held the leading post.

The NAC expressed its gratitude to Abdel-Gelil for his efforts during his tenure in office and concluded by emphasising that they would continue their efforts to push for a balanced constitution that will "reflect the goals of the January 25 Revolution."

NAC is a pro-democracy umbrella group of liberal and Brotherhood activists which was formed in 2010 to coordinate opposition against toppled president Hosni Mubarak.
