Egypt's electoral commission said Sunday that there will be a new timetable for a parliamentary election that had been due to start on March 21 after a court ruled parts of the election law unconstitutional.

The parts of the law deemed unconstitutional will be revised and then "there will be a new timetable for the procedures" for the election, the commission said in a statement.

It was not immediately clear how long the election would be delayed for.
