President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said in a statement that he has ordered the government to adopt the “necessary legislative amendments” within a month to comply with the Supreme Constitutional Court's ruling.

Another court is likely to rule later this month on whether the election should be delayed, but a date for the new vote would be decided by the Supreme Electoral Commission, which went into an emergency meeting on Sunday following the verdict. …

Retaining those articles means just having a different Islamic vision from the MB. Nothing to LOL about.

The thing I can really ... LOL about ... is that anyone would expect an Islamic society to do so ... now that’s gotta be hilarious!

But, I can expect that an Islamic society can get rid of those groups like the Muslim Brotherhood who want to destroy that society, and I back Sisi 100% for doing that.
