Egypt’s Constitutional Court has declined to issue an opinion on a draft law that would bar former top officials in Hosni Mubarak’s ousted regime from running for the presidency, Al-Ahram reported.
The high court said it couldn’t rule on the draft, which was approved by parliament, until it becomes law, the state-run newspaper reported. The legislation must be approved by the ruling military council before it takes effect.
