Egyptian Court Rules Upper House of PArliment Elections Illegal

An Egyptian Court has ruled that the Shura Council was elected illegally, delivering a serious blow to Morsi's Freedom and Justice Party. This ruling questions the legitimacy of the constitution drawn by the FJP. The Court stated that the existing Shura Council may remain until new elections. The date of these new elections has not been decided as of yet. Whether this results in further growth in Egyptian political institutions remains to be seen.
