Constitution Court: Election can be postponed
The Constitution Court has just ruled unanimously that the election date can be postponed and by a 7-1 vote it said that if the election date is to be changed, the caretaker prime minister should confer with the Election Commission on how to proceed
The EC requested the ruling, arguing that it cannot hold safe and successful elections in the current political situation, after nearly three months of street demonstrations against the government
However, the caretaker government has argued the ballot cannot be put off on the grounds that the constitution would only allow such a delay under abnormal circumstances, such as a natural disaster or civil war
The reaction from all sides should be coming very soon and I'll have more shortly
