CAIRO (AFP) – Egypt's presidency said Saturday that liberal leader Mohamed ElBaradei has not been officially appointed prime minister, after several official sources said the former UN nuclear watchdog chief had been named premier.

He added, however, that ElBaradei was "the logical choice" among a list of names being considered in the wake the military's ouster on Wednesday of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.
