Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has annulled a decree he issued last month expanding his powers, an official has said.
But a referendum on a draft constitution would still go ahead as planned on December 15, Islamist politician Selim al Awa added.
He explained that constitutionally President Morsi was unable to change the date, as Mr al Awa spoke to reporters after talks between the President and political leaders.
The two issues - the decree and the referendum - have been at the heart of anti-Morsi protests that have rocked Egypt in the past two weeks.
The demonstrations have left seven people dead and hundreds injured over the last seven days.
Egypt's military has said it will not allow violence and has called on rival political groups in the country to talk.
The controversial decree, issued on November 22, had put the president's decisions beyond judicial review - a measure fiercely denounced as dictatorial by the opposition.
Opposition leaders demanded it be rescinded and the referendum be scrapped before they entered into any dialogue with Mr Morsi to calm a crisis which led to street clashes this week that left seven people dead and hundreds injured.
Egypt's powerful military warned Mr Morsi and the opposition to sit down for talks, otherwise it would take steps to prevent a "disastrous" degradation of the situation.
