Egypt's vice-president resigned on Saturday as Egyptians voted in a referendum that is expected to approve a new constitution that lays the foundations for the country's transition to democracy but will strip him of his role.

Just hours before polls closed, Vice President Mahmoud Mekky announced his resignation
