Egypt's administrative court on Tuesday ordered a halt to all preparations for parliamentary elections previously scheduled to start on 21 March.
The administrative court ordered the High Election Commission (HEC) to cease all its preliminary preparations for the elections in accordance with Sunday’s Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC) decision that deemed parts of the electoral laws unconstitutional.
Following the SCC's decision, the HEC referred its rulings to the administrative court for a final legal review.
The administrative court had previously allowed petitioners against the constitutionality of three electoral laws to present their challenges to the SCC.
It delayed its final rulings on the complaints against the laws in question until the SCC weighed in on the matter.
