Sabbahi seeks suspension of election
May 26, 2012
I spoke too soon when I said earlier today that at least no one was questioning the fairness of the election. Hamdeen Sabbahi is seeking to overturn the election. And while voting irregularities will always be hard to prove and always risk sounding like sour grapes, there is this perhaps more serious legal issue:
“Parliament had passed a political exclusion law disqualifying Hosni Mubarak’s prime ministers from running for high office, but the elections commission declined to enforce the rule, instead sending it to the Supreme Constitutional Court.”
