's opposition coalition said on Sunday it was moving towards forming a single political party to challenge Islamists, whose more disciplined ranks have dominated the ballot box since last year's revolution.

Members of the opposition National Salvation聽, whose differences have split the non-Islamist vote, pledged to keep up the pressure on President Mohamed Mursi, including through peaceful protests.

Liberals, socialists and other factions that united under the banner of the聽聽campaigned unsuccessfully for a "no" vote in a referendum on a new constitution which, according to an unofficial tally by Mursi's Islamist backers on Sunday, secured 64 percent approval on turnout of about a third of the 51 million eligible voters.

"罢丑别听聽is very cohesive and the聽聽is in agreement that it will lead all battles together,"聽, head of the聽聽and a leading member of the聽, told a news conference after the referendum.

"Not only that, but the parties inside the聽聽have taken advanced steps to form a big party inside the聽," he said.

A statement from the聽聽said it had learnt "useful lessons" during the referendum. But it will have little time to organise, as a parliamentary election is due to be held in about two months.聽

Other members said discussions about fighting the parliamentary poll as a single unit were continuing and it was too early to talk of details such as how candidates would be fielded in different constituencies.

聽members include Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei, who leads the聽, and leftist Hamdeen Sabahy, founder of the聽听尘辞惫别尘别苍迟.

Both groups have been prominent in demonstrations against Mursi's rule and his drive to fast-track the constitution through an Islamist-dominated drafting assembly, which opponents quit in protest.

Sabahy said the referendum showed "this constitution has no national consensus." Islamists dismissed such criticism, saying the result was a clear majority and the constitution was a fair and essential step to advance聽's democratic transition.
