Former MPs do not respond to Katatny’s call to convene

Former MPs did not respond to former People’s Assembly Speaker Saad al-Katatny’s calls for them to convene for a parliamentary session on Tuesday.

Only former MPs Anwar al-Balkimy and Mohamed al-Omda arrived at Parliament but were denied access.

The People’s Assembly’s general secretariat had distributed the agenda for the People’s Assembly’s and the subcommittees’ coming sessions.

The Supreme Constitutional Court on Thursday ordered Parliament dissolved on the grounds that the Parliamentary Elections Law was unconstitutional.

Several former MPs had said that if denied entry to Parliament they would hold their session in Tahrir Square.
