Egypt's electoral commission has cancelled dates for parliamentary elections which had been scheduled in April 2013
The move comes after a court ruled that the electoral law backed by President Mohammed Morsi needed to be reviewed by the Supreme Constitutional Court.
President Mohammed Morsi last month announced that the polls would take place in four stages over two months, starting on April 22,2013.(Egyptians voted in December 2012 in favour of a controversial new constitution which requires elections be held within two months)
President Morsi later said he respected the ruling and that an appeal was unlikely
