Egypt: State Commissioners Advise Against Challenge to Election Suspension

State commissioners of Egypt's administrative court have recommended striking down a challenge of the authorities to a court order to suspend the election of a new house of representatives.

Egypt's high administrative court will hear on Sunday a challenge filed against a court's decision to suspend the procedures of the lower house's election.

The April-scheduled parliamentary election was suspended early this month by a court order that referred its law to the High Constitutional Court to review its legality.

The State Litigation Authority had filed a challenge on behalf of the president, the Shura Council and the Justice Ministry, saying that the ruling is flawed and restricts the president's right to exercise his political powers
