Cairo - Akram Ali
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has rescheduled legislative elections originally slated for April 27-28, following requests from the country’s Coptic community.
Elections will now take place on April 22-23.
Egyptian Copts had called for a reschedule because the original voting period would have clashed with Christian festivals.
President Morsi also announced a second elected parliament would meet for the first time at the start of a new legislative term, beginning July 2.
