Egypt the Shura, the upper House of the Parliament, adopted on Thursday an electoral law as amended by the Constitutional Court, clearing the way for the President Mohammed Mahalla to a date for lower house elections.
Mahalla is expected to ratify the electoral law of 25 February and announce votes will be held in about two months time to decide of the House of Commons.
On Monday the Constitutional Court demanded changes to five articles of the revised electoral law. The Shura Council accepted this ruling and the legislation adopted without a vote. "The decision of the Constitutional Court is binding and we have no right to vote on it," said Ahmed Fahmy, President of the Council.
