Delays in preparations for Egypt's upcoming presidential polls
The judicial body tasked with supervising Egypt's upcoming presidential elections has announced that it will not meet as planned on 18 February, the day slated by interim authorities as the beginning of the polling process which will elect the country's second president in three years.
Hamdan Fahmy, secretary-general of the five-member Presidential Election Commission (PEC), said on Monday that the meeting will be delayed until a new law regulating the upcoming elections is issued by interim President Adly Mansour.
