Egyptian court rejects election law, may delay poll

DHAKA: Egypt’s constitutional court rejected five articles of a draft election law on Monday.

It sent the text back to the country’s temporary legislature for redrafting in a move that may delay a parliamentary poll due in April.

‘The court has returned the draft parliamentary electoral law to the Shura Council after making five observations on five articles which it found unconstitutional,’ a court statement said, reports The Jerusalem Post.
