The court in Cairo ruled that the country’s election commission exceeded its powers by calling on voters to head to the polls on May 23 to cast their ballots.
It claimed that the date had wrongly been set by an independent electoral commission instead of by the ruling military council.

Egyptians are to vote in the presidential polls on May 23 and 24 while a run-off has been planned for June 16 and 17, if necessary. It will be the country’s first presidential race since the toppling of long-term US-backed Hosni Mubarak in a popular 2011 revolution.
