Egypt's presidential elections are expected to be held at the end of 2012 or the start of 2013, Al-Arabiya television reported on Tuesday, a delay in the vote that is likely to frustrate some activists who want a swift transfer of power from the army.
One presidential candidate, Amr Moussa, said this month that he and others seeking to run wanted a vote in February or March of 2012.
"It is expected that the presidential election will be postponed to the end of 2012 or the start of 2013," Al-Arabiya's correspondent told the channel, adding that the date of the elections would be announced soon in a decree from the military council.
Army officials were not immediately available for comment.
