[EURONEWS] Egypt's parliamentary poll looks set to be delayed after a court ruled part of an election law was unconstitutional and the main election committee said it was working on a new timetable for the long-awaited vote.President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi directed his government to amend the law within one month.
The first phase of the poll is due to start on March 22. The election is the final step in a political roadmap the army announced in July 2013.
Another court ruling later this month will definitively decide whether or not the elections will be delayed.
The latest development highlights Egypt's rocky path towards democracy since the ousting of Islamist President Mohammed Mursi in 2013 by the army after mass protests against the rule of Egypt's first democratically elected leader.
