CAIRO - Cairo's Administrative Court on Thursday issued a decision to halt the opening nomination for the elections of the Press Syndicate which were set to be held on Friday, the official Middle East News Agency reports. Khaled el-Atfi, a nominee for the syndicate's board, filed a lawsuit calling for halting the nominations, as Salah Abdel Maqsoud, the acting syndicate chief, called for the vote in violation of syndicate regulations, which stipulate that elections should be proposed by an elected syndicate chief, not an acting one..
