Egypt Stalls Election Decision

Hosni Mubarak stepped down just over a year ago, but Egypt still shows few signs of a presidential election on the horizon. An election commission was supposed to announce a timetable, but even that has been delayed—officially because of problems organizing voting procedures for Egypt's expatriates. Nominations for the presidency were supposed to be announced next month, with the first round of voting in early June, and run-offs in late June. However, many observers think the continued delays mean the military is resisting a return to civilian rule, reports the BBC. (More Egypt stories.)
