A misdemeanor court on Wednesday sentenced leader of the Al Wafd Party, Sayyid Al Badawi to three years over issuing a check without balance, Al Bawaba News reported. Al Badawy also faces the same accusations in several similar cases, judicial sources said. On May 1, some of Al Wafd members, known as reformists, withdrew confidence from Al Badawy in objection to the way he managed the party, prompting him to hold a press conference to clarify his political attitudes as a means to settle the crisis.
